J.S Bach: "Air on the G String" (No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068) /// Pan flute & Organ

DUO FANTASTINECUS SALAPPOLIS: Stefan Stanciu, pan flute Ilpo Laspas, organ Video editing and pictures by S. Stanciu "Air on the G String", also known as "Air for G String" and "Celebrated Air", is August Wilhelmj's 1871 arrangement of the second movement of Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068. The arrangement differs from the original in that the part of the first violins is transposed down so that it can be played entirely on a violin's lowest string, i.e., the G string. It is played by a single violin (instead of by the first violins as a group). In 1871, violinist 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. . . . #panflute #panpipe #panpipes #panflöte #classicalmusic #klassischemusik #classical #music #musicvideo #musicvideos #baroque #baroquemusic #aironthegstring #bach #song
