Air On A G String by Johann Sebastian Bach ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcription by Grant Floyd The timing is 4/4. I have used spacing to indicate the timing so that the initial sequence is very strung out with four beats to the bar and later as the notes become closer the grouping of notes indicates which are to be played together. Some bars have a single or very few notes. If they're at the start of the bar then allow them to ring throughout that bar (ie everything is spaced according to time at playing) All this stuff is pretty self-evident but timing is very important in this piece, listen to it and you'll see what I mean.
