Composed in 1739 for Princess Louisa, this suite comprises the four fundamental dance movements of the Baroque suite: Allemande, Courante, Sarabande, and Gigue. In the Allemande, Courante, and Gigue, the texture alternates between partially imitative writing between the hands and homophonic writing. The Sarabande is a solemn movement characterized by a leisurely, narrative melody.
