Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068 - II. Aria (on G string) was written by Johann Sebastian Bach, probably composed in Leipzig around 1730 as the second movement (Air) of his Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068. The famous “Air on the G string” title comes from an 1871 arrangement by violinist August Wilhelmj, who transposed Bach’s Air so it could be played entirely on the violin’s G string. In this form the Air has become one of Bach’s most popular and frequently arranged pieces, widely used in concerts, recordings and media as a symbol of serene Baroque lyricism.
