Description
This gigue serves as the finale of Bach's English Suite No. 2. As the closing movement of the suite, it features lively running passages and buoyant rhythms that build toward a brilliant conclusion. Though intermediate in level, its note density relative to its length demands agile fingerwork and the energetic drive befitting a suite's final movement.
Six suites by Bach known as the "English Suites," combining French elegance with technical brilliance.
