Sebastian Bach

Note 37 — Chapter V

Reading edition

To this class we may assign without hesitation the cantatas, Ich bin vergnügt mit meinem Glücke (No. 84) and Ich habe genug (No. 82). The latter is printed in a form which Bach afterwards gave to it, changing the soprano into a bass solo. Possibly Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten (93) had a like origin: see Spitta, ii. 274 f., 302 f., 269 ff. A secular cantata of which the subject closely resembles that of the two first-named works should seem to belong to the same category: it is printed in the Bach-Gesellschaft xi. (2) p. 105.
