Since it's that time of year again, could someone remind me whether it's
actually possible (and if so, how) to play the lute arioso from the St John
Passion, with all those chromatic bass notes?

And, since it only lasts two minutes, what does the lutenist do the rest of
the time? Continuo? Sit in silence? Play/sing another part?
