With this piano sheet music, you can play Johann Sebastian Bach's "Air on the G String".

It's an accurate piano transcription of the whole piece which is not too hard to play, and sounds fantastic!

"Air on the G String" is one of the most famous classical compositions.
It was written by J. S. Bach (1685-1750) as the second movement of his orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major (BWV 1068).

While the piece was just titled "Air" in Bach's original composition, the German violinist August Wilhelmj wrote a new arrangement of the piece in the 19th century. In this version, the first violin was transposed so that it only had to use the G string (the lowest string on a violin).
Since his arrangement contributed in a major way to the piece's fame and popularity, it became known as "Air on the G String" or "Air on a G String".

In any way, it is certainly one of the most beautiful pieces from the Baroque era, and sounds wonderful when played on a piano, too!

Air on a G String
Bach: Air on a G String -
Bach: Air on a G String - ~ Bach composed three noteworthy Orchestral Suites. He wrote his third orchestral suite, BWV 1068 in D, for his Collegium Musicum. The Overture of the suite features a double-dotted rhythm in the French style and employs the entire ensemble: trumpet trio, timpani, oboe duet, and strings. The strings were the typical 2 violin parts, viola part, and continuo of cello and harpsichord. ?Air? - the title of the second movement, is, by contrast, scored only for the strings. It seems like this work was entitled ?Air on a G String? not by Bach, but by a nineteenth-century violinist named August Wilhelmj. He arranged the Air such that the first violin part was performed by a single soloist ? and entirely on the G String.

This piece comes from Johann Sebastian Bach's Third Orchestral Suite in D major, composed in the first half of the 18th century. In 1871, violinist August Wilhelmj arranged the piece for solo violin with accompaniment, transposing it into C major. At that time it acquired the name "Air on the G String." This arrangement for solo guitar condenses the original arrangement for strings and continuo. It is scored in C major. The arrangement has been simplified to be playable at the early-intermediate level.
