Bach - Air

Описание

This is a Piano lesson for The ‘Air on the G String’.

The Air on the G String is a musical suite, arranged by violinist August Wilhelmj from the Air (Second movement) of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068.

The original orchestral suite was written by Bach for his patron Prince Leopold of Anhalt-köthen in the early 18th century.

In the late 19th century, August Wilhelmj arranged the second movement of Bach's third Orchestral Suite for violin and an accompaniment of strings, piano or organ (harmonium). On the score he wrote auf der G-Saite (on the G string) above the staff for the solo violin, which gave the arrangement its nickname.
