About This Track

The original orchestral suite was written by Bach for his patron Prince Leopold of Anhalt sometime between the years 1717 and 1723.

The title comes from violinist Wilhelmj’s late 19th century arrangement of the piece for violin and piano. By transposing the key of the piece from its original D major to C major and transposing the melody down an octave, Wilhelmj was able to play the piece on only one string of his violin, the G string.

    The Beatles used this in their feature length cartoon video, Yellow Submarine, very tastefully......of course!

    It's good, but Brahms' Lullaby is better.
