About 'Air on a G String'

Artist: Bach, Johann Sebastian ( biography)   ( sheet music)
Born: 21 March 1685 , Eisenach
Died: 28 July 1750 , Leipzig
The Artist: One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for
organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a
church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression
with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and canons in which the same
melody is played against itself in various ways.
Composed: 1720 circa.
Info:
Originally part of the orchestral suite No 3 and written for Prince Leopold, Bach's employer in the
little principality of Anhalt-Cothen between 1717 and 1723, the 'Air on the G string' arrived in its
current popular form over 100 year later, when German violinist August Wilhelm arranged the
piece for violin and piano to be played on the evocative G-string of the violin .
