Partita no. 1 / English Suite no. 3 / French Suite no. 2

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Maria João Pires

This collection of keyboard suites by Johann Sebastian Bach was composed in the early 18th century. It presents Baroque keyboard writing characterised by dance-form movements, intricate counterpoint and ornamental figuration, and it documents Bach's development of keyboard technique and his synthesis of French and Italian stylistic elements during his early-to-middle career.
