The English Suites

on: June 21, 2004, 08:44:23 AM

I've been working on Bach's English Suites for a while and I was wondering if anyone on here plays them.

If so, which are your favorites?

I was working on a piece from the E minor last week-Out of the ones I've done so far, the Passapied from the E minor is my favorite dance in it. I also like the Bouree from the Second suite, though I haven't played it. I think it embodies many of my musical thoughts.

I think the allemandes from the English suites are some of the most perfect bits of keyboard counterpoint I've heard.

They were actually the first Bach stuff I ever heard...

I've played and performed the 2nd one in A minor, but that be it.

All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
