Shownotes

Several of these dances/movements from Bach's second English Suite have to put a big smile on your face. Stand out movements include the first Bourée and the Sarabande.

  • Prelude
  • Allemande
  • Courante
  • Sarabande
  • Bourées I, II, I
  • Gigue

    • This copy of the score writes out a da capo for the bourrees, asking the performer to return to the minor-keyed first dance to round off the pair.

    Featured Performances:

    • Blandine Rannou
    • Anne-Marie McDermott
    • Stefan Temmingh
    • RedPriest - Johann, I'm Only Dancing
    • Harpsichordist Pierre Hantaï via YouTube - Hantaï takes the liberty of offering his own "pre-prelude" which makes sense to me since the prelude by Bach dives right into a strict contrapuntal structure
