G. Henle Verlag English Suites 1-3, BWV 806-808 (Edition without Fingering) - Bach/Steglich - Piano - Book

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach
Editor: Rudolf Steglich
Format: Softcover, Urtext Edition without Fingering
Instrumentation: Piano
Level: Difficult

Some teachers and pianists prefer a clean musical source. Henle has released these versions of Urtext Editions without fingering to accommodate that. The normal Urtext Editions with fingering also remain available.

Although people might like to think that the "English Suites" were composed after the "French Suites," "the temperamental and in part virtuoso flow of these Suites is more characteristic of the musical language of the young Bach," (from Henle's preface). The kaleidoscopic variety of the six "English" Suites is breathtaking. One lifetime is not enough to exhaustively comprehend and penetrate them. Henle provides the sustainable musical basis for this, in different formats: the complete paperbound volume (HN 100), clothbound (HN 101), divided into Nos. 1-3 (HN 102) and Nos. 4-6 (HN 103) and last but not least in a very good value study edition with the identical musical text (HN 9100).
