Description

SKU SB6502D

Somewhat overshadowed by Bach's suites, Handel's eight Suites de Pieces pour le Clavecin, published in 1720, have largely eluded today's pianists. Possibly written for his pupil Princess Anne, they were intended for domestic use, though Handel reworked some ideas into his chamber, orchestral and operatic music. German, French, English and Italian influence reveal a cosmopolitan composer and his music is remarkable for its freshness and spontaneity. A formidable improviser, many compositions undoubtedly sprung from his own improvisations. Christopher Kite's Stainer & Bell two-volume edition provides excellent interpretative advice, and is inexpensive. Suites for Harpsichord Book 1 (1720) Nos. 2, 4, 6 and 8 Composer: George Frideric Handel Publisher: Stainer & Bell Instrument: Piano Pages: 1
