Although people might like to think that the “English Suites” were composed
after the “French Suites” (HN 71), “the temperamental and in part virtuoso flow
of these Suites is more characteristic of the musical language of the young
Bach” (from our preface). The kaleidoscopic variety of the six “English” Suites
is breathtaking. One lifetime is not enough to exhaustively comprehend and
penetrate them. We provide the sustainable musical basis for this, in different
formats: the complete paperbound volume (HN 100), clothbound (HN 101), divided
into Nos. 1 3 (HN 102) and Nos. 4 6 (HN 103) and last but not least in a very
good value study edition with the identical musical text (HN9100). |
