The next composition in the manuscript is a ciaconna as well, on the melody of &#8220;Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, O Herr&#8221;. It remains anonymous in the manuscript. A later scribe has pencilled &#8220;G. Kirchhoff?&#8221; above the title of the piece. And not without reason. The manuscript contains several compositions in the form of a Ciaconna, and they ae, as far as a composer is indicated, composed by Kirchhoff.

Kirchhoff obviously had a keen eye for constructing a repating bass line beneath a given melody. <\/p>\n<p>In this particular case the bass line is a really simple one. It is basically a descending c major scale wit a cadence like closing. This descending scale is repeated no less than 17 times. Perhaps because of the monotony of this, the composition lacks a certain esprit.
