Bach – Gavottes from English Suite No. 3 – Argerich, Piano
The English Suite No. 3 in G Minor is as follow: I. Prelude, II. Courante, III. Allemande, IV. Sarabande, V. Gavotte I, VI. Gavotte II, VII. Gigue. The English Suites, BWV 806–811, are a set of six suites written by Johann Sebastian Bach for harpsichord (or clavichord) and generally thought to be the earliest of his 19 suites for keyboard, the others being the six French Suites, BWV 812–817, the six Partitas, BWV 825-830 and the Overture in the French style, BWV 831. They “probably date from around 1713 or 1714”. – Martha Argerich
