Bach English Suites

Johann Sebastian Bach's English Suites (BWV 806–811) are a set of six keyboard suites and probably the earliest of his nineteen keyboard suites, the others being the six French Suites (BWV 812-817), the six Partitas (BWV 825-830), and the Overture in the French Style (BWV 831).

Bach's keyboards were harpsichords and clavichords, not pianos. The earliest pianos (fortepianos) did not become popular until the 1760s, after Bach's lifetime.

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750) is one of humanity's greatest treasures. It is unsurpassed in its expression of profound reverence for life, and in its depth and diversity of ideas and feelings. It provides boundless joy to listeners and performers.
