notes
This is a two-part reduction (treble clef and bass clef, in partition) without words or instrumental indication. Henzel, Christoph, Verzeichnis der Werke von Johann Gottlieb und Carl Heinrich Graun, Beeskow, Ortus, 2006 suggests that it is intended for 2 violas da gamba, as is the case with many other arias and operas transcribed in KHB, but the layout could also suggest a keyboard reduction.
The aria is transposed from the original key of E major.
