The exciting story of a song "Air On G String"
Prince Leopold of Anhalt in the 1700s and was originally played on the basic tone of D major. Why why his name can water on G string? It should have been played on the G note. Well then in the 19th century came the famous artist named August Wilhelmj, so at first when Bach created this song there is no title and finally Wilhelmj who named it to Air On G string because it is the tone played in the violin or cello only on G string only.
And this is the interesting story, Wilhemj was originally also wanted to play the song by Bach it dikonsernya by using Biolanya using the initial tone is in D major. But because at that time there were some people who did not like him eventually to the three main strings in Wilhemj's violin was decided that the strings of D, A and E and one chord stretched G-strings are the lowest tone on the violin. His friends thought that Wilhemj would not be able to play Bach's song with only one string G because the main strings they had decided, especially the D tone plus the concert's time had not been able to recover the fiddle for Wilhemj. The choice is just two, give up and run away or still appear but do not play anything because it is impossible to only be able to play a song with one string.
But Wilhemj chose to move on and play the Bach song. Finally Wilhemj played Bach's song with only one string of G-chords, everyone in the room was shocked and disbelieved, especially his friends who worked on it. Although only with one string was Wilhemj able to play Bach song and managed to make people who heard it touched and crying because Wilhemj play it so live. Then the unnamed song became Air On G String. Where water / air is a symbol of freedom, or at least the desire to be free from kengkangan. So freedom / air in G string.
So the learning that we can get from the above story certainly obviously never give up! Do not ever think that we can not, although under any circumstances show first that we can do our best effort. Like Wilhemj even with just one string he managed to play Bach songs very well and became famous until now. Then really and deeply in doing something, believe that something that is done really and full of appreciation of course the result will be different from something done with half-hearted and playful. Do not be afraid because we kengkong from here and there, just show off. Prove we can. SPIRIT!
