Ouverture (Suite) 2 h BWV 1067

Bach’s Suite No.2 In B Minor BWV 1067 is one of the four surviving orchestral suites or Ouvertures - that is dance suites in the French style – as he would have named them. The second suite for Flute Strings and Basso Continuo is a beautiful work comprising 8 short movements and is arranged here for Flute with Piano Accompaniment by Erich List and Johannes Weyrauch.

Therefore you have the choice of practicing and performing this suite with either a piano or recorded orchestral accompaniment.

From early in the 17th century until the form engaged the interest of Johann Sebastian Bach various notable German composers - including Rosenmüller Fischer Fasch and Telemann - had contributed to the development of the orchestral suite or 'Ouverture' which name betrays its French theatrical origins. From Bach himself only four such suites have come down to us due to the diligence of C.F.Penzel who was a student at the Thomasschule from 1751 and who made copies of Bach's MSS he found there. Thus neither the dates nor the order of composition of the suites can be established with any certainty. As to the present suite in B minor recent criticism suggests that Bach'sidiomatic flute writing in this popular suite would even in 1737 or later have been considered fashionably up-to-date even in Paris. It has also been suggested that the suite could have been written expressly for Pierre-Gabriel Buffardin principal flautist of the Dresden Court Orchestra.
