About 'Air on the 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 . | |
