English Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gustav Leonhardt

The English Suites are a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed c. 1715. Characterised by Baroque dance movements, elaborate ornamentation and contrapuntal writing for harpsichord or clavichord, they reflect stylistic links between French and Italian keyboard traditions and predate his later keyboard collections such as the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Partitas.
