This is a piano solo transcription of Bach's BWV 1068, also known as Air on the G string. Beside Busoni's beautiful but difficult and embellished arrangement and Siloti's unnecesarily difficult arrangement, I couldn't find a piano transcription in which the voices are notated conveniently for both hands, so I made one myself.

My aim was to keep Bach's four voices at their original pitches as much as possible, although in a few bars changing them by an octave was the only option. The score now contains some instances of a ninth. Those players whose hands are not able to play them can arpeggiate the notes.

I wrote out the ornaments and included the chords for who's interested in the harmonic progression.
