Orchestral Suite No. 3, movement 2 is this beautiful "Air".
One violinist re-arranged it for violin and piano, and transposed the composition to C major, so that it can be played entirely on G string of the violin.
[Note: a violin has 4 strings: G, D, A and E.]
(1685 - 1750)
Orchestral Suite No. 2, movement 7 is this "Badinerie" - a brief and lively dance.
The badinerie has become a show-piece for solo flutists, due to its quick pace and difficulty.
