Description
Summary:	Schiff sits at the Steinway piano and explains the French Suites which J.S. Bach composed during 1722 and 1725 for Cembalo, but also its closeness to Bach's Goldberg variations and Orchestra suites. He plays a short passage of a Suite, explains it and plays again, but then he interrupts himself once again. This happens without script but with refreshing spontaneity and directness. You can see András Schiff at the Thomas Church and Bach Museum where he talks about Bach's years in Leipzig, his musical and personal development.
