My teacher has suggested that I learn a French Suite by Bach next (which I'm most likely going to learn all the movements of). She said I can choose which one I want to do, so that's why I'm here. I'm interested in challenging myself a little bit, so which one would you say is the most technically difficult? I've already learned a few parts from Suite no. 5 so I'm probably not going to do that one. Let me know which you think is the hardest out of the others.

I don't know what is the most tricky, but I know that I like the third one the best kind of by far - I enjoy every movement. I'm not terribly in love with the others (though perhaps they'd grow on me) and that would make those trickier already!

I think that they're all pretty much of a muchness when it comes to difficulty. Pick one you like.

I played French Suite No. 5. The Gigue is pretty cool.

I haven't played them all so I couldn't tell you which one is the hardest. But 5 was hard.. not impossible. But definitely a challenge.
