French Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Vladimir Ashkenazy

The French Suites are a set of six keyboard suites composed by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, dated to c. 1722–1725. They exemplify Baroque dance-suite structure with a succession of dance movements, varied key centres, ornamental melodic writing and contrapuntal textures, and sit among Bach's early keyboard works alongside his English Suites and later Partitas.
