Learn to play continuo. Really. Not only will it save you tons of time, it will enable you to play tons of music, and, for the job at hand, it will be _much_ easier, honestly, as you can leave out that which is difficult (it's Bach, after all ...) and it will give you the opportunity to play more where it's easy. Buy the Baerenreiter pocket score and just dive in. Start with soprano aria Ich folge dir and alto aria Es ist vollbracht. Both will be required. The tenor aria Erwäge (after your obligato in the bass arioso) is another story, also required!, but it is more difficult, so here a tab might come in handy. Go for the intermediate solution: three staves, top to bottom: soloist, empty tab and figured bass. The best of both worlds at one glance. I'll send the Erwäge aria with a reduced bass, as there's no need to play all the fast notes, and to play continuo from that muddled score is hard. enjoy! (and study well ...)
