Suites for Harpsichord nos. 1‐4

Album by George Frideric Handel & Glenn Gould

Suites for Harpsichord nos. 1–4 is a set of harpsichord suites by George Frideric Handel, composed in the early 18th century. They exemplify the Baroque dance-suite form, combining stylised dance movements, contrapuntal textures and ornate harpsichord ornamentation that reflect Handel's blending of Italian, German and English keyboard traditions and constitute an important part of his keyboard output.
