Bach and the French Suite
We know that Bach is known as the "father of modern Music in the West", and on the basis of inheriting traditional creations, he has continuously expanded and enriched the content of creation, combining humanistic ideas with religious music to form a unique Bach style.
Many people say that Bach's music has a "divinity". However, the story behind this "French Suite" is very warm and romantic.
In 1720, Bach was also working as a musician in court in Coten, where he needed to find a soprano for his court band. So Bach went to visit a deceased man, whose daughter was none other than Anna Magdalena, a brilliant soprano singer.
Later, the singer Anna became Bach's second wife (after Bach's first wife died). As a soprano singer, Anna is not only a virtuous wife, but also a fan and confidant of Bach. Bach also taught Anna to play the organ.
Soon after his marriage, Bach prepared to resign as court musician in Cotten and go to Leipzig to become a church musician. This set of "French Suites" was also created in this time period.
▲French Suite No. 5
Why is it called "French Suite"?
In fact, the French Suite was not originally called by that name, it was originally called For Anna. Magdalena's Keyboard Song Collection" from the name, we know that this is Bach's etude for his new wife, so we can also feel Bach's immersion in the joy of the new marriage from this suite.
And what we are talking about today is the "Gig Dance", which is the fifth set of suites selected from the "French Suite", its technique is relatively simple, and the work is also full of sunshine and vitality, which is very suitable for children to practice.
