The French Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Christopher Hogwood

The French Suites are a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1722. Written for harpsichord (clavier), they draw on French dance forms combined with Italianate ornamentation and contrapuntal writing, and they represent a stage in Bach's development of his keyboard-suite repertoire and his synthesis of national styles.
