Johann Sebastian Bach | Air on the G String

Why is it called Air on the G String?
The movement is sometimes called the “Air for the G string” because when it is transposed to C major the entire first violin part can be played on the G string alone; the 19th century German violinist August Wilhelm did this in his transcription of the work for violin and piano.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) wrote his four orchestral suites in Leipzig.
