During the first half of the eighteenth century, the French dance suite achieved great popularity throughout northern Europe. From 1724 to 1731, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) modelled his four orchestral suites, designated by the composer as ouvertures, on this much-loved musical form. Suite N0. 3 in D, BWV 1068, written around the year 1730, contains six movements in the style of French dances of varying meter and temperament, one of which is the well-known Air on the G String (2. Aria). Instrumentation: 0.2.0.0: 0.3.0.0: Timp: Hpchd: Str (4.4.3.3.3 in set). Reprint of edition by Alfred Dv?rffel, part of the Bach Gesellschaft Ausgabe (Bach Society Edition).
