The French Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Angela Hewitt

The French Suites are a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 1720s. They use French dance forms within Baroque counterpoint and ornamentation and are part of Bach's early keyboard output that demonstrates his use of the dance-suite model.
