The English Suites: BWV 806-811

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Richard Egarr

The English Suites, BWV 806–811, are a set of six keyboard suites composed by Johann Sebastian Bach circa 1710–1717. They draw on Baroque dance forms and employ intricate counterpoint, ornamental keyboard figuration and episodic preludes, representing an important early contribution to Bach's keyboard repertoire and his development towards greater structural complexity in suite writing.
