At the end of the 19th century the German violinist August Wilhelmi (1845-1908) decided to adapt J.S. Bach`s Aria from the Suite for Orchestra in D-major BWV 1068 for violin and piano. This second movement of Bach`s third orchestral suite is written originally for solo-violin and string orchestra.

Wilhelmi transposed the entire solo part, which is a gem of lyric music, into C, so it fits comfortably on the G-string, the lowest string of the violin with a particularly dark and romantic timbre. The harmonic parts he wrote for piano. Though this music was later transcribed for many other instruments, it did not lose its name Air on the G-String.
