Passacaglia & Fugue in C Minor BWV 582
The Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor (BWV 582), composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), is a great piece of music. It was originally written for organ, and arrangements for piano solo (d'Albert), piano four hands (Reger), and orchestra (Stokowski) had been done. It is amazing that each one of the arrangements has its own beauty.
In the arrangement, part-allocation optimization was considered to minimize total technical difficulty.

 Das Orgelbüchlein "O Mensch, bewein' bein' Sünde gross" BWV.622
The Little Organ Book BWV.599-644 is a music note which contains 164 choral titles. However, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote only 47 (including a fragment). "O Mensch, bewein' dein' Sunde gross",No.24, BWV.622, is the same as the last choral in the part one of Matthaus Passion BVW.244. Very beautiful and poignant.

O Mensch, bewein' dein' Sunde gross,
darum Christus sein's Vaters Schooss
aussert und kam auf Erden.
Von einer Jungfrau rein und zart
fur uns er hier geboren ward,
er wollt' der Mittler werden.
Den Todten er das Leben gab
und legt' dabei all' Krankheit ab,
bis sich die Zeit herdrange,
dass er fur uns gekopfert wurd',
trug uns'rer Sunden schwere Burd'

Ciaccona for Violin Solo composed by Johan Sebastian Bach is a miraculous work and also the pinnacle of violin music.  Ciaccona is a Spanish origin dance and a kind of variation on a repeated bass progression.  This Ciaccona contains thirty variations and consists of three parts. 
It is technically difficult because of double, triple, and fourfold stops, however, it is reasonable to realize magnificent counter music by one violin.  Almost sheet musics of the Ciaccona are edited by violinists.  They are convenient for playing because of specific arpeggio, conspicuous cords, slurs easy for playing. 
However, some important messages written by Johan Sebastian Bach have been lost.  He wrote double/triple/fourfold stops not as simple cords but as multiple voice parts.   He wrote rests for each voice in a courteous manner.  Slurs look to be drawn in an extemporaneous manner.  It is not easy to play Bach' slurs exactly, however, it is worth for learning his slurs to feel profundity of his music.  To determine the specific arpeggio form, it is important to know the specific suggestion for arpeggio by Bach.  He wrote only eight demisemiquavers and four slurs in the beginning of the arpeggio in the part-I, and there is no specific description in part-III.  It is also valuable to visualize cord-changes corresponding to arpeggio parts. 
This urtext version is a faithful translation from his original to digital format.  In this version, the effectiveness of accidentals within a bar is in modern style not in the Baroque style.
