Description
French Suite No.6 in E major is often regarded as the most virtuosic and ornate of the set, with elaborate figuration and clearly differentiated character across its dance movements. Fittingly positioned as the culmination of the French Suites, it calls for both considerable technical skill and a strong grasp of Baroque stylistic conventions.
Six keyboard suites by Bach that elegantly incorporate Baroque dance forms.
