Suite No. 2 in g-moll

This suite offers an ideal introduction to the \"French style\" that was cultivated at the court of Louis XIV and Louis XV and had a great influence even on Johann Sebastian Bach. The embellishments and \"notes inégales\" impart the desired \"swing\"to the dance pieces typical of this period.This edition has been edited and recorded by Manfredo Zimmermann, professor of recorder at the Wuppertal Musikhochschule and a specialist in early music.1-4 Ouverture5-7 Allemande8-11 Courante12-14 Sarabande15-18 Gavotte19-22 Menuet23-26 Gigue
