The nineteenth century was one in which musicians were very busy applying names and titles to older musical conventions of form, gure and function. Virtually all of the ‘titles’ applied to ‘Classical’ sonatas, symphonies and chamber music by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven come from a much later time. The music of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries also did not escape this desire to name and codify. Bach’s three sets of keyboard suites were herded together, and the two un-named sets given their different national identities. The six suites that make up BWV 812-817 were labeled as “French”, and the six suites BWV 806-811 as “English”. There are, musically speaking, no good reasons for these brandings. The six “French” are no more French than the so-called “English” suites, or the six Partitas that form Clavierübung 1 for that matter.

The six beautiful suites that were combined to form the set on this recording have not gained particular favour in recording or performance, perhaps because of their miniature and intimate nature. Apart from the G major suite (one even I played on the piano as a young boy) which has a certain outgoing and ashy demeanor, these suites make few appearances in concerts or recordings. Recorded performances often omit many repeats in order to squeeze them onto a single disc, reducing their impact even further. …
