The Harpsichord Suites

Album by George Frideric Handel

The Harpsichord Suites is a collection of keyboard suites by George Frideric Handel, composed in the early 18th century. The works employ Baroque dance-suite structures and harpsichord-specific textures, featuring contrapuntal writing, ornamentation and contrasting movements that form an important part of Handel's keyboard output and the wider Baroque repertoire.
