Format 16.5 x 22.5cm

J.S. Bach’s four Orchestral Suites belong to that select group of works one could truly call

classical hits!  They stem from Bach’s extremely productive time in Cöthen which ended in 1721.

Unfortunately the only sources that have come down to us are copyist parts from Leipzig.  These

originally formed the basis for the critical complete edition volume which was published in 1967 as

part of the “New Bach Edition”.

At that time Bärenreiter also issued separate scores and parts which however were prepared with

additional articulation and performance suggestions.  Bärenreiter’s new edition of Bach’s great

four suites now presents the Urtext as found in the “New Bach Edition” i.e. without emendations and

performance suggestions.  The orchestral parts have been re-engraved and the material includes an

alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068 including a “Violino

concertato” part.

- Urtext editions of these important works.

- Newly engraved parts and fully realized continuo.

- For the first time an alternative version of the Overture and Air to the D major suite BWV 1068

with “ Violino concertato ” is included.
