Description
This allemande follows the Baroque dance tradition, built on a measured quadruple-meter tread beneath an elegant melodic line. At only about a minute, it is very brief, offering an accessible entry point into the dance-suite style, though its careful phrasing still calls for an advanced player's touch.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
