The French Suites

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Keith Jarrett

The French Suites are a set of six keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed circa 1722–1725. They draw on Baroque dance forms and French stylistic models, featuring ornamented melodic lines and contrapuntal textures for harpsichord or clavichord, and are representative of Bach's keyboard output and of early 18th-century suite practice.
