Air on the G String. Although as I said in another comment Bach is technically baroque not classical.

I assume they meant Classical Music, in the broader sense, versus the Classical Period exemplified by composers like Mozart and Haydn. I was under the impression, as well, that the Classical period really referred to Greek and Roman times and the period you reference was the Neo-Classical. But I see it is referred to as Classical in at least a couple of articles on Wikipedia.
