Each of the 17 movements has been selected to illustrate the different styles and expressive moods of Bach’s dance writing.

This unique sequence showcases three specific national styles: the ornate and sophisticated French school, virtuosic Italian writing, and the stricter fugal writing of the German style.

Contemporary insights about in Rubinsky’s historically informed playing.
