What do you think about expression in air on g string?

"air on the g string" is nothing you can wear but it is a piece of music composed by j.s.bach, from one of his orchestra suites, to be played by string instruments (i.e., in this case, violin, viola, celli). the term "air" relates to its character, as it is a slow, songlike piece which often is called "air" in music. string instruments have different strings, according to the names of musical notes. violins, for instance, have the four strings e-a-d-g. so "air on a g string" means a piece of slow music to be played on the string "g", especially that composed by bach.

What does air column mean in musical terms?

Music, like all sound is made up of sound waves traveling through the air. On a string instrument, the sound wave originates with a wave (actually many waves) on a vibrating string. Wind instruments don't have a string, and the sound you hear doesn't sound much like the vibrating reed of a woodwind or the vibrating lips of a brass players. We hear a wave that is established in the air inside the instrument. Of course, air moves through and out of an instrument, but the wave doesn't leave the instrument. A corresponding sound wave, which we hear, is created outside the instrument, but the wave inside the instrument doesn't leave the instrument any more than the wave on a string leaves the string. We need a term to describe the air that is inside the instrument - the air where the wave is established and that term is "column of air."
