Taken from Bach’s The Magificant, the solo is filled with running sixteenth notes. While the tempo is marked 66 bpm, the sixteenth notes should be played with a consistent tempo. With the slower tempo, the soloist should be as expressive as possible playing the various sixteenth-note passages. There are two measures containing thirty-second notes that act more as ornaments leading into the next beats respectively. A trill is indicated over a dotted-eighth note. The last note is marked as a pedal Bb with an optional Bb2 for the soloist who is not able to play the lower note.
