The French Suites, BWV 812-817, were composed between 1722 and 1725. The suites were later given the name 'French' as a means of contrast with the English Suites. The name was popularized by Bach's biographer Johann Nikolaus Forkel, who wrote in his 1802 biography of Bach, "One usually calls them French Suites because they are written in the French manner." This claim however, is inaccurate; like Bach's other suites, they follow a largely Italian convention.
They consist of the traditional dances like Allemande, Courante, Menuet, Gavotte, Gigue, Sarabande as well as some less-frequently encountered dances like the Anglaise, Polonaise, Air, Bourree and Loure. These suites lack preludes (except Suite No.4 under BWV 815a) and are shorter and less elaborate than the Partitas and English Suites.
As usual with Bach, parts of the suites were recycled from earlier works or sketchbooks, and they underwent several revisions after publication. There is no surviving definitive manuscript of these suites, and ornamentation varies both in type and in degree across manuscripts.

Une interprétation naturellement harmonieuse sans le moindre artifice. La musique, comme le temps, s’écoule et emporte l’auditeur irrésistiblement. Richter est maître de cette emprise merveilleuse qui est, selon moi, la définition même de l’art.
Allemande 1:50
Courante 4:21
Sarabande 6:18
what is the price before Allemande called?
It's the prelude from the alternative version of this suite :)
I love you Richter!!!!
He loves you too! 😘🤗😂💜💚💙💕🍀
Interpretazione stupenda! Richter porta la musica di Bach fuori dal tempo e dallo spazio dove non esiste più nulla se non il silenzio tra un suono e l'altro!
Really different interpretation - elegantly done - very nice, indeed!
Movement 2 is the Allemande of French suite no. 2. The first movement, he plays is a set of Prelude+ Fugue - of which Bach wrote dozens.
So which prelude and fugue is the first one?
“Movement 2 is the Allemande of French suite no. 2” What exactly does that mean?!
I like this modified version, sounds more mixture of Romantic flavor and Baroque. :)
Yea, like Bach was an actual human with life.
Praeludium, after the nice pre-Praeludium- "The Mind's Road To Rebirth In The Pleroma"... best tempo, M.M. 40...
Richter played Bach very good starting with the 90's. Weird story yet exceptionally delicious. He got out his tricks one by one. The most remarkable story in the XXth century is Richter.
It is not uncommon for suites to have additional movements, which are sometimes called "gallanteries," which roughly means "pleasantries" in French.
I have been studying BWV 815, but will get a copy of BWV 815a, which has interesting modifications
1:50
What a tender tempo on the last movement of this recording. I will keep in mind how that affected me as I reinterpret the movement. A blend of me and others should make a good final product.
素晴らしい😀
Much, much, much better than Schiff (of course, because this is Richter playing)!
I was thinking the same. The feeling is much different, he goes deeper into the music.
LOL - you ARE funny. ;-) Please find some objective perspective.
@jacarandaxia Of course. You can hear it.
It's the third movement of Lady Gaga's Flute Sonata in T major as arranged by Michael Jackson in the early 90's. Greets from Siberia.
wow, never know this, need to find out the sound recording.
@tinkleneko
I suggest, you refer to the description of the post once again. Additionally :
- BWV 815, 4th French suite in E flat major, is made of Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, Gavotte, Air, Gigue.
- BWV 815a is having additional movements : Praeludium, Gavotte I, Gavotte II, Menuet
I suggest, you do not refer exclusively to Wikipedia, as there are lots of incomplete and even wrong information in quite a few articles.
All the best!
Best interpretation , did he use a little of petal?
yep
Perhaps a touch of rose petal, or perhaps a touch of hyacinth?... begonia?
@@thomassicard3733 what do you call rose pedal?
@tinkleneko
Sorry, I don't get what you mean. Could you explain ?
I wonder where did Richter take the score for the praeludium from...can't find this version anywhere...
Alloy Brendan look for BWV 815a on IMSLP!
***** I am not sure what you are talking about...
I have a score which has it . Edition Breitkopf 1983
Why are the parts out of order?
interesting prelude 815a, was the arpeggio suggested improvised by richter or was a written down version?
I would like to know this too.
also, is there anyone having a written out version for Richter's improvised arpeggios?
It is simply written as block chords.
@@lynn9499 The part shows only block chords
Sounds suspiciously like sustain pedal is being used. I really don't care, but purists might have a conniption! LOL
uhhh there's not praeludium for the french suites... and this isn't even the right one?
there is. it is BWV815a
my book has it
My book does not have it, but I am quite sure this IS "the right one". LOL
@xper2xper Praeludiums do not exist for French Suites. Go Wikipedia it :)
Also, I don't think this is the right piece that you have on here. that's all :)
