Suites for Keyboard

Album by George Frideric Handel & Keith Jarrett

Suites for Keyboard is a collection of keyboard suites by Georg Friedrich Händel, composed and first published in the early 18th century (c. 1720s). These Baroque keyboard pieces employ dance-suite forms with ornamented melodic lines, contrapuntal textures and a mix of Italian and English stylistic elements, forming a central part of Händel's harpsichord output and of the period's keyboard repertoire.
First released: 12th September 1995
