Bach’s English Suites rank among the greatest masterpieces of keyboard literature. They display an impressive virtuosity and a rich, sumptuous harpsichord style that Bach envisioned in these works. In his revision of the English Suites, editor Ullrich Scheideler had access to an exceptionally well-documented source situation, despite the absence of Bach’s autograph manuscript.
Suite No. 4 in F major, BWV 809, is taken from the complete volume HN 595 and is perfectly suited for both study and teaching. The carefully considered fingerings by Bach specialist Ekaterina Derzhavina provide essential guidance for both technical execution and musical interpretation. This edition includes authentic variants directly in the musical text and features an extensive preface discussing the work’s genesis and offering a clear overview of the available sources. A superb introduction to the world of Bach’s English Suites!
