Today’s programme is part 1 of 3 in which we look at the structure called the Suite, which was an instrumental staple of the Baroque period, and a forerunner of the Classical symphony. The Suite is based on stylized dances of the period (or earlier), and consequently are quite easy listening.
In part 1 we look at those by Bach; in part 2 those by Handel and also a concerto by Vivaldi which fits the model although he named it differently; and the climax comes in part 3 when we dig into the Art of Listening: How can I tell if that piece was written by Bach, or by Handel (these being the best known of the Baroque composers)?
So, lend me your ears and let’s investigate!
