J. S. Bach: Air on the G String (piano)

Johann Sebastian Bach wrote this piece for his Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068. August Wilhelm modified the composition in 19th century, but I play the D major original on my Yamaha P140 digital piano.

the most beautiful version of G. there isn't any decoration and exaggeration. and i can feel that he played with great constrain of force and emotion. the beauty of serenity is in this constrain. meanwhile it induces me to reach for the tension and enthusiasm beneath this constrain. so who can give the piano score??

Okay... I'm drawing a blank... why is it named air on the G string when the piece is in the key of D? There's no open G note going on in this that I can tell (on a violin or stringed instrument).

[@TruthSurge]

+Stefan Coetzee Well, damn. I thought Bach had called it that. I can't remember all these classical pieces by opus this and concerto #486. :(

[@JoeLinux2000]

This is the third movement of a string piece that has been transcribed for piano.

[@Zoendy-Animation]

cause G is for God String

[@cocoaudet71]

Actually, it’s because at some point, the song was rearranged and the piece for the main violin was written in a way that it was played on one of strings: The G string. The song re-became popular and the name stuck

Meh not a fan of the playing. There's literally no passion at all, just playing it how the sheet music says. He should try to feel how it should sound and add some Acc. and Rit. Play it how you feel it should sound, not exactly how it's written, that's boring.
