The English suites more so than the others become increasingly complex with each number. At least thats what I think, judging from the Preludes. The first Prelude in A is easier, the d minor Prelude is very considerable in its demands and length.I found the F major Prelude to be very demanding.
I personally think the F Major Suite, BWV 809 is the easiest one and the D minor Suite, BWV 811 the hardest. But all of them are much harder than the French Suites. If you're coming from the 2nd French Suite, I suggest first learning Maybe the 3rd, 4th or 5th before moving on to the English Suites. If you're ready for them, I'd start with the F Major Suite (Nr. 4)BW,Marijn
I can play all the french suites except no.1. Is the 2nd english suite the second easiest? I will consider BWV 809.The Prelude from English Suite 4 looks hard on score.
Is the Prelude from the 2nd Suite harder than the prelude from the 3rd? Have you played all of them?
So what's so hard about No.2?
