This guitar arrangement was made using the original score for string orchestra. The sustained sound of violins in the orchestra is what gives this piece its unique and instantly recognizable coloring; the main goal of the present guitar transcription has been to preserve this sound. In particular, the arrangment was done in C major (not in the original D major) to use the open string voicings as much as possible. Also, all of the polyphony has been preserved making the sound richer and, at the same time, making the piece rather technically involved. The timing is 4/4. Enjoy! AIR from Orchestral Suite No. 3 BWV 1068 J. S. Bach Transcribed for guitar by A.
