(words after Johann Heermann), for four voices and instruments (BWV 5) ([1724]) Physical Characteristics 375 x 423mm. ff. 10r and v ruled with staves but otherwise blank; ff. 1v, 2v, 11r and v, and 12r and v blank. Structure: wrappers consisting of 2 nested bifolia, enclosing 2, 2, 2, 2. All staves individually ruled, with between 22 and 25 staves to each page; see Neue Bach-Ausgabe, I/24, Kritischer Bericht, ed. Matthias Wendt (Kassel: Bärenreiter Verlag, 1991), pp. 126-8 for detailed list.

Headed (f. 3r) `J[esu]. J[uva]. Do[m]i[ni]ca 19 post Trinit. Wo soll ich fliehen hin? Concerto'. With revisions throughout also in Bach's hand (listed in detail in Johann Sebastian Bach. Neue Ausgabe Sämtlicher Werke (Kassel: Bärenreiter Verlag, 1954- ), I/24, Kritischer Bericht, pp. 128-136), apparently made for a later performance. The seven sections of the cantata occupy the following folios: ff. 3r-5v. [1.] Chorus. In the lowest of the four systems on f. 3r the viola part is written partly on the same stave as the second violin and partly on a separate stave drawn freehand in the lower margin. At the end the instrumental parts are marked ‘DC' for a repeat of the introduction, and the vocal parts are marked with 18 bars rest. Page 2 2021-08-21 f. 5v. [2.] ‘Recit’. ff. 5v-6v. [3.] ‘Aria’. In the lowest system on f. 6v the basso continuo part is written on an extra stave drawn freehand in the lower margin. Marked ‘DC’ at end. f. 7r. [4.] ‘Recit.’. ff. 7r-9r. [5.] ‘Aria’. The tromba and basso continuo parts for bars 5-6 are sketched on two otherwise empty staves at the bottom of f. 7r, which ends at bar 4 of the aria. The first half of bar 56 (an instrumental passage) is written across the lower margin of f. 8v on five separately drawn short staves, with the indications ‘Tr:’, ‘Viol i’, ‘Violin 2’, ‘Viola’ and ‘Cont’; the second half of the bar follows in score on f. 9r. Marked ‘DC’ at end. f. 9v. [6.] ‘Recit’. f. 9v. [7.] ‘Choral’. The continuo line is figured in nos. 2-4, 6, and 7 only, and in each case this has been added in another hand. There are two wrappers designed completely to enclose the four bifolia of Bach’s manuscript. The inner wrapper (ff. 2, 11) is of the same paper type and has on f. 2r in ink in the hand of Johann Andreas Kuhnau ‘Dom: 19 post Trinit: / Wo soll ich fliehen hin? Weil ich [etc.] / á 4 Voc: / Tromba / 2 Hautbois / 2 Violini / Viola / con / Continuo / di Sign: / J. S. Bach’. The title is repeated in ink in an unknown hand on f. 1r of the second, outer, wrapper (ff. 1, 12), which is of coarse blue paper, apparently dating from the time when the manuscript was in the possession of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. Dürr concludes that the cantata was written for performance on 15 Oct. 1724, and that the evidence of a supplementary organ part indicates that the revisions marked by Bach into Zweig MS 1 date from 1732/5. Kinsky attributes the outer wrapper to Carl Friedrich Zelter, and there are some similarities with his hand.
