Johann Sebastian Bach, born in Germany March 21, 1685, to become today one of the most admired musicians in history. His work belongs to the Baroque period and strangely, according to some of his biographers, was forgotten until the nineteenth century, when the rescue is to be considered one of the greatest, not only for their intellectual depth and perfection technique, but also for its beauty. Among his best known works is the "Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major," also known as "Air for Strings in G" . The suite was composed by Bach sometime between 1717 and 1723 for Prince Leopold of Anhalt and changing its name comes from violinist August Wilhelmj. This late nineteenth century, arranged the work for violin and piano, also made the transposition of the primary key of D major to C major of the original, which managed to touch the work with the G string of his violin.
The work responds to a quiet beauty which, like air, without haste and without pause, instruments appear to be emerging as a single body to ethereal landscapes. True, none stands out, because all form one body light and full of clarity.
in 1723, and in Leipzig, the musician begins to fill the position of "Cantor of the Church of St. Thomas" and director of Music at the University. I would do until 1750, the year of his death. In "Little Chronicle" his second wife Anna Magdalena Bach Wülker relates how is blind but regained dying moments before the hearing. He died with his company and with some friends; the man who had said, "Whoever sings, prays twice" in their last breath, she recalls, asked to listen to music. And right there his friends sang the choir.
