Afternoon, Nostr 🌿

In case you missed it this morning, here’s a little bit of Bach’s Air in G. Still one of the most beautiful melodies ever written. As DireMunchkin (nprofile…02ff) says in the comments, it’s a classic for a reason 🎻✨

Good morning, Nostr ☀️

I hope you’re having a great morning so far.

I think I’m on a bit of a Bach kick lately! Today I was thinking about another one of his most famous pieces… the Air in G, which is actually the second movement (an “Air”) from his Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major.

You’ve probably heard it before… at weddings, in churches… it’s everywhere, and for good reason. It’s one of the most serene, reverent, and heartfelt pieces of music I know. There’s something so deeply human about it, like Bach somehow captured pure love and beauty in sound.

Here I’m just playing the first phrase, which then repeats. In the repeat, I add a few little ornaments on the melody, which was a common practice at the time.

I hope you enjoy this little bit of Bach’s Air, and that it brings some joy and peace into your morning. 🎻
