                 Aria
                 ----

                  by

                J. S. Bach

        (From the Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach)


4/4 time, andante con moto (moderately slow, but spirited), scale of E Major.
Standard Tuning, strings shown below are high e to low E in that order.
Play Part I twice, then Part II twice.

In tab, it is hard to notate the duration of individual notes. Here, try to
keep each note ringing until another note in the same melody line occurs.
