🇩🇪Georg Friedrich Händel ： Suite HWV 439

Handel’s Suite HWV 439 is included in the second collection of harpsichord suites. Within its concise writing, a clear sense of rhythm and singing melodic lines come to life. One of its attractions is the changing flow created by sections of contrasting character, a defining feature of the suite. Carefully shaping the meter and direction of each phrase, while maintaining a balance between melody and accompaniment, brings out the refined appeal of the Baroque style. The ornaments should be played lightly without disrupting the musical flow; an unhurried tempo and carefully preserved resonance enhance the performance.
