French Suite No. 5, BWV 816

EP by Johann Sebastian Bach & Bruce Liu

French Suite No. 5 in G major, BWV 816, is a keyboard suite by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1722. The suite exemplifies Baroque keyboard music through its series of stylised dance movements, balanced polyphony, ornate ornamentation and clear harmonic architecture, and it occupies a position among Bach's early suite compositions that reflects a synthesis of French and Italian influences.
