I am easily confused
and get facts wrong.
Therefore I, unwittingly,
thought it was a thong
 
when I heard mentions
of Air on the G string.
It is easy to see why
it's the very first thing
 
that comes to one's mind.
I'm not musically-minded.
and I wasn't brought up
to be that way inclined.
 
To learn that this piece
is in fact an arrangement
of Bach's suite Number 3
was total amazement.

Is it? Bach? Who would think. What is a "G-String"?

Good poem Luigi, very educational. Cheers! Tom

Thanks, Tom. 
The movement is sometimes called the “Air for the G string” because when it is transposed to C major the entire first violin part can be played on the G string alone

Cheers, Luigi

Dear Jenny, I  see that my weird sense of humor is working. I can't help seeing the funny side in most things. For instance, while  I was writing this doggerel, the name of  Bach reminded me of another composer, Offenbach., and thought of a joke that would make my daughters groan: "Do you come here often, Bach?".
