Description
French Suite No.4 in E-flat major has a bright, graceful character often cited as one of the most elegant among the set. Each dance movement moves with light energy and features generous use of ornamentation. While the overall texture is relatively light, distinguishing the character of each movement demands a refined, advanced-level touch.
Six keyboard suites by Bach that elegantly incorporate Baroque dance forms.
