Bach: French Suites, BWV 812-817

Description

Johann Sebastian Bach's three great cycles of suites belong to the fundamental canon of piano literature: the Partitas and the so-called English and French Suites. It is the French Suites that have long been by far the most popular – and this was also the case at the time that they were written.

This opulent urtext volume is rounded off with an appendix offering alternative and additional pieces. It enables pianists and Bach enthusiasts alike to re-discover Bach's universe for themselves!

This edition replaces the older HN71.
