Bach French Suites BWV 812-817 (Henle)

Johann Sebastian Bach’s three great cycles of suites belong to the fundamental
canon of piano literature: the Partitas and the so-called English and French
Suites. It is the French Suites that have long been by far the most popular –
and this was also the case at the time that they were written. However, this
also creates problems for an editor preparing an Urtext edition, because a
vast number of copies of them were made by Bach’s circle of pupils, and these
contain many presumably authentic variants. In this revised Henle Urtext
edition, Ullrich Scheideler explains the complicated source situation with
exemplary clarity. He lists the more minor source variants in footnotes; where
there are major differences, both versions of individual movements are printed
in full. Our opulent volume is rounded off with an appendix offering
alternative and additional pieces. This Henle Urtext editionhas been
completely revised, and also offers new fingerings. It enables pianists and
Bach enthusiasts alike to re-discover Bach’s universe for themselves!
