JS Bach - English Suites BWV 806-811 Complete Piano Book

Urtext Edition

The English Suites BWV 806-811 by Johann Sebastian Bach is a comprehensive music book featuring all six of Bach's famous English Suites, edited by Alfred Kreutz. These works, which include the suites in A major, A minor, G minor, F major, E minor, and D minor, are presented in their original form as an Urtext edition.

The name "English Suites" likely arose due to the association with English styles and possibly an English nobleman, although the exact origin remains unclear. The collection showcases Bach's intricate counterpoint and musical elegance, with stylistic influences from England, notably resembling Handel's suites. This edition is an essential resource for advanced pianists, offering 128 pages of some of Bach's most celebrated keyboard works.
