Originally, their date of composition was thought to have been between 1718 and 1720, but more recent research suggests that the composition was likely earlier, around 1715, while the composer was living in Weimar. As introductory pr\\xe9ludes, Bach incorporated a set of five concerto movements which he composed in the wake of his revelatory discovery in 1713 of the concertos of Vivaldi, Marcello and other Italian composers. To these he added a sequence of French dances, often combining elements of the two contrasting national styles within a single movement. Ketil Haugsand is a Norwegian harpsichordist and conductor. In 1975 he was awarded the Prix d'Excellence at the Amsterdam conservatory, where he studied under Gustav Leonhardt.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Ketil Haugsand, harpsichord (Double Manual Harpsichord in German Style by Martin Skowroneck, Bremen, 1985)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst Suite, A Major, BWV 806, Pr\\xe8lude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFourth Suite, F Major, BWV 809, Pr\\xe8lude - vitement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1e Courante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCourante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2e Courante, avec deux doubles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarabande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarabande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinuet I \u0026amp; II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourr\\xe9e I \u0026amp; II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFifth Suite, E Minor, BWV 810, Pr\\xe8lude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecond Suite, A Minor, BWV 80705, Pr\\xe8lude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCourante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCourante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarabande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarabande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePassepied en Rondeau \u0026amp; Passepied II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourr\\xe9e I \u0026amp; II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSixth Suite, D Minor, BWV 811, Pr\\xe8lude - vitement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThird Suite, G Minor, BWV 808, Pr\\xe8lude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllemande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCourante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCourante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarabande avec Double\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSarabande\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGavotte I \u0026amp; II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGavotte I - Gavotte II, ou la Musette\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGigue\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55182918320513,"sku":"217937","price":20.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/416CWRHerML._SL1500.jpg?v=1768250969","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/217937","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
