    Mrs. Meyers, I suffer from moderate obsessive compulsive disorder. In times when I am feeling over whelmed by things, this is a video that allows me a few minutes of peace. I am not sure why but, the Stradivarius violin can sound so warm and wail at the same time. I can see by the emotions you express you are not only playing the piece but feeling it. The way you move back and forth it seems you aren't playing the instrument but dancing with it. I have tried to put into words what thoughts enter my mind. I don't know if I have succeeded but your performance has provided me peace with the problems I face.

    Anne Meyers playing of the Air shows a reverence to the majesty of Bach's composition. The result is sublime.

    THIS is why J.S. Bach composed and Stradivari crafted. Vibration, master craftsmanship, and perfection of skill, years of practice, genius in composition and a healthy dose of love to combine in an acoustic poem that celebrates all aspects of Life. No matter the emotion it brings to surface, so much has come together to create beauty. So many hands and minds that had to combine, as well as the span of time, to create one moment, note by note, a thing of purity and wonder are staggering to imagine.

    Man, I complain about a katana costing about $2,000, which you wouldn't get unless you're a grandmaster. But damn 3 mil for a violin. Sounds great, so totally worth it.

    Idk if anybody will understand me but personally Anne's version for me is the female persona of this masterpiece. There's a gentleness, elegance, and a certain femininity in this rendition. I have yet to find a male counterpart...

  • @fydler7640
    @fydler7640 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well, it's gorgeous and all that, but she does not appear to be playing the Wilhelmj arrangement which lies all on the G-string. It looks like she is wandering around on the D-string and the A-string. Lovely playing and a magnificent instrument!

    Why is it called Air on a G String?

    • @novaturient4404
      @novaturient4404 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      An "air" is simply a melody. According to Wikipedia, "The title comes from violinist August Wilhelmj's late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major and transposing the melody down an octave, Wilhelmj was able to play the piece on only one string of his violin, the G string."
