Overview
These duets are drawn from the English suites of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Bach wrote the English suites (BWV 806-811) after 1715. Some pieces may be transposed; original keys are indicated before each piece. I have included tempi and initial dynamics these are only suggestions.
In order to maintain a “cleaner” appearance, I have included the original ornament symbols, rather than writing out the ornaments. A number of websites include descriptions of Baroque ornaments.
These pieces are not intended to function as a single composition, as the original tonal relationships of the suites have been removed. I suggest that they be enjoyed as individual movements. Soli Deo gloria
