    This is a great addition to any “serious” musician who also happens to like very much Handel’s Suites of 1720. Here we find Bach emulating Handel in his use of 32nd note runs and “harpeggio” sections, which Handel employed to very good effect. It doesn’t seem like “authentic...

    ” Bach, but it’s very much Bach. Or, put another way, Bach “putting on” Handel. Depending on how one treats the fast runs or “Fantaisie” elements this piece can be viewed as extremely hard to play, or fun to play around with “non mesure” which is to say, in the French way, there is no real demarcation between measures and their metre. So, play on and enjoy!
