To start with the French Suites
on: March 31, 2005, 11:09:22 AM
Hi all
I've just bought Bach's French Suites and would like to start with something very easy... which is the easiest piece to play among all of them?
I have already learnt some of 2-parts Inventions and the 3-parts Invention No. 1. So what do you suggest to keep on with Bach through the French Suites?

In general the English Suites are more difficult than the French suites.
The easiest movement amongst the FS and ES is the Menuet from French Suite no. 3. I would start with it not least because it is a very nice piece.
Also have a look here where I have graded them all (an keep in mind that difficulty is subjective and you are allowed to disagree/change my grading
):

(Grades for all Inventions, sinfonias, French and English suites)
Best wishes,
Bernhard.
