  1. This is such a nice transcription. I listened to a version on original instruments for comparison, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzlw6fUux4o; at least to my ear, the double bass version brings out a more solemn tone, almost mournful in places. The double-bass version reminds me of church music in places, and the original instruments version really does not. Lovely. 😍 🤩
