Hi arielpiano,

Excellent playing!  Very clean articulation and attention to voice leading.

I love the English Suites, and this is a great gigue. (I like the whole idea of "giguedom"). Great performance. I've got the entire suite playing now and am enjoying your balanced yet appropriately expressive playing. It's a real joy hearing you!

Thanks, guys. I'm afraid the copyright to the term "giguedom" goes to Gould, with reference to another gigue.
Here is the entire suite for the hard core Bach fans:

If you listen to only one dance, go to the Courante at 8:18.
