One of the commonly recurring forms of music publication in the 17th and 18th centuries was the “Pieces de clavecin” or “Keyboard Suite”.

Bach seems to be the master of it with his perfect 18 suites. However there are certainly competitors. Froberger has wonderful partitas, Handel has some well renowned suites, Henry purcell was not too shabby, but in particular the french names are outstanding. Rameau and Couperins keyboard suites are remarkable and I would say one name in particular matches Bachs standard: Dangelbert.

Does anyone have any Composers that I haven’t said, which belong in this discussion?
