The Four Orchestral Suites
The four orchestral suites of Johann Sebastian Bach are superb examples of the composer's innovative mastery of the many dance forms so popular throughout the courts of eighteenth-century Europe. From lively to sedate, on display are all manner of dances — from elegant sarabandes to vivacious gigues and rondeaux. Included among these courtly treasures are the world-famous "Badinerie" for solo flute, strings, and continuo (from Suite No. 2), and the lovely "Air on the G String" (from Suite No. 3).
Reproduced from the authoritative Bach-Gesellschaft edition, this volume contains Suite No. 1 in C Major, No. 2 in B Minor, and Nos. 3 and 4, both in D Major. All four works appear in full score. Ideal for study in the classroom, at home, or in the concert hall, this affordable, high-quality, conveniently sized volume will be the edition of choice for all lovers of great music.
