Extra Information
|
According to Grove Music, Handel's keyboard music was "all probably for harpsichord and written before 1720, unless otherwise stated". None of the pieces in these suites are designated otherwise, so they are tagged for harpsichord, although the work list notes that HWV 436 was "probably post-1720".
