The French Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Zhu Xiao-Mei

The French Suites are a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1722 to 1725. They are part of the Baroque keyboard repertoire, written in dance-suite form with ornamented melodies, clear harmonic patterns and varied textures, and they appear in the period when Bach developed his solo keyboard style.
