forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy
and France.
The Suites and suite movements (BWV 832–845) are a
miscellaneous collections of suites (partitas) and
miscellaneous movements of authentic and spurious
works.
The 3 Minuets (BWV 841-843) are taken from the Notebook
for Wilhelm Friedemann Bach: 'Klavierbüchlein für
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach' (1720) and shown to be the
works of J. S. Bach as: Minuet in G Major (BWV 841),
Minuet in G Minor (BWV 842) & Minuet in G Major (BWV
843).
