George Frideric Handel - Keyboard Suite HWV.426 (Cover to Piano & Cello Duet with original compare)

George Frideric Handel's Keyboard Suite HWV 426 is the first work in his first set of Suites de Pièces pour le Clavecin (1720), and it is in A Major. It is a classic example of a Baroque dance suite, consisting of four movements.

Structure and Movements

The suite follows the traditional sequence of dance movements:

I. Prelude: An improvisatory and dramatic opening movement.
II. Allemande: A somber and reflective German dance movement, in a moderate tempo with a contrapuntal texture.
III. Courante: An elegant, piquant French dance characterized by lively, flowing rhythm.
IV. Gigue: A brisk, energetic, and fugal finale, with a playful, leaping subject that brings the suite to a virtuosic close.

Background

Publication: The suite was published in London in 1720 as the first of eight "Great Suites" (HWV 426-433). Handel arranged this publication to counter a pirated edition of some of his earlier keyboard music that had appeared in Amsterdam.
Instrument: The work was originally composed for the harpsichord, the dominant keyboard instrument of the Baroque era, though it is frequently performed on the modern piano today.
Style: Handel was renowned for his skill as a keyboardist and improviser, and these suites reflect his cosmopolitan musical experience, blending Franco-German dance forms with Italianate elegance and counterpoint.
