a********o 发帖数: 585 | 1 Handel 's keyboard music dates from before 1717-18, the bulk
of it from his
earlier years in Germany and Italy. Altogether there are
some 27
suits, plus an exteremely large number of shorter pieces,
many of them dance
movments and written-out improvisations.
Suits in D Minor and E majorone has perfect written examples
of Handel's
improvisational skills. There tends to be a thematic linkage
of Allemande and Courante, two of the standard dances of
suit. ( They are usually totally
unrelated in Bach |
