I love music.

I write about the music I like and have purchased for the benefit of better understanding it and sharing my preferences with others.

Bachcast 62: English Suite #6 BWV 811

Bach's collection of English Suites are French-inspired keyboard suites. In the sixth suite, he starts with an elaborate prelude that starts slow then takes on motion through counterpoint. The dual sarabandes and dual gavottes are the two dance sets of special interest, as is the concluding gigue, borrowing the affect of the trills from the opening prelude.
