"Wie wohl ist mir" (TLH #362)


I transposed this from A flat major to G major (mostly to make it easier to play on mandolin), but this pushed one note in the alto part below the mandolin's range.  Instead of an F#, I played an A.  I also had to put my guitar in drop D tuning to get a handful of notes in the tenor part.

There's a "variant" for the last five measures, and I played this the second time through.
