The fourth movement combines elements of aria, recitative, and arioso. Typically, "scenes" comprise recitative, arioso, aria and ensemble elements, with occasional instrumental (sinfonia) passages. The recitative begins secco, but ends in an arioso on words of the original chorale. The words "" are repeated as a free arioso concluding the following recitative. Bach gives his soloists an arioso and an aria. Commentators (including and ) have seen the initial recitative and arioso as "operatic". The recitative "" (The goodness and love of the Highest) ends on an arioso. The first vocal movement is an arioso, accompanied only by the continuo. In the aria, this line appears reminiscent of the arioso, but in reverse movement. The third movement's structure alternates two slow "arioso" sections with two faster fugues. The third movement, a bass arioso, repeats the ascending scalar motif of the chorus. Literally, arioso means "airy". An arioso from the opera, "Care selve", is often heard in recital and on recordings. It is described as a slow arioso with many dramatic pauses and tempo fluctuations. It was followed by other Rezonet's guitars, "Arioso" and "Arco".
