J. S. Bach – French Suites BWV 812817 & French Overture BWV 831

This new edition of Bachs French Suites (BWV 812817) pairs these works with the large-scale French Overture in B minor (BWV 831) from the second part of the Clavier- bung. It brings together on the one hand six essentially small-format keyboard suites of moderate difficulty and on the other the most extensive and substantial of Bachs sets of suites.
The player is provided with as clear and comprehensible a score as possible, and makes it easier to approach the work, while those of an academic bent can refer to the Editorial Report for a documentation of sources, editorial additions and ornaments of a comprehensiveness otherwise found only in critical complete editions.
