Johann Sebastian Bach ： Suite F-Dur BWV 820

Built on a succession of dances, this suite creates contrasts between rhythms and tempos of different characters. From the stately gesture of the opening Overture, it proceeds through the Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Minuet, and Gigue, inviting the listener to appreciate changes in tempo and meter. Performers should clarify the movement of the voices so that the inner parts do not become obscured, while articulating ornaments naturally without disturbing the flow of the beat. Distinguishing the weight and articulation of each dance brings out the work’s clear structure and vitality.
