The English say Air on the G string, because its notation system is C , D , E , F , G , A , B instead of do , re , mi , fa , sol , la , si . Always giving the note! Of course, the Germans are not far behind either. The aforementioned aria is an arrangement by the German violinist August Wilhelmj of the second movement of the Orchestral Suite N. º 3 of Bach ( BWV 1068 ) . Beautiful!
