French Suite no. 1 in D minor BWV.812
The French Suites, BWV 812–817, are six suites that Johann Sebastian Bach wrote for the clavier (harpsichord or clavichord) between the years of 1722 and 1725. Although Suites Nos. 1 to 4 are typically dated to 1722, it is possible that the first was written somewhat earlier.
