Summary of This Book
This volume gathers monumental works from Johann Sebastian Bach's keyboard repertoire, covering several essential aspects of Baroque composition. You will find the Six English Suites and the Six French Suites, perfect for deepening the art of the dance suite (allemande, courante, sarabande, gigues, and intermediate movements) with a constant focus on phrasing, ornamentation, and voice leading.
The collection also includes the Six Partitas (Clavierübung Part I), major works for developing endurance, polyphonic clarity, and sense of form, as well as the Goldberg Variations (Clavierübung Part IV), essential for working on variation technique, articulation, and texture management. Finally, the Fifteen Two-Part Inventions and the Fifteen Three-Part Sinfonias provide a daily practice foundation to refine hand independence, rhythmic precision, and understanding of counterpoint, whether you play harpsichord, piano, or another keyboard instrument.
