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).
This arrangement further deviates as it changes the key, and the instrumentation, and simplifies the rhythm structure to allow intermediate musicians take part in a time honored classic.
