Which suites do you prefer? BWV806-811 or BWV812-817?

French Suites

Another sign of preference (not mine) to English Suites — no thread dedicated (named) to French Suites exist on this forum (I cannot find such a thread throug search). I would start that one but will wait some time (maybe such a thread exist but somewhat differently named, so I need to do re-search).

Thankfully to David Cates the French Suites do have Preludes (yes, actually they are mostly selections of other Bach pieces; except Prelude from BWV 815a) at least in his recording (Harpsichord).

There is a strangeness in simple things.
