{"product_id":"keyboard-suites-9780486420455","title":"Keyboard Suites","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the great testimonials to the musicianship of Danish-born composer and organist Dietrich Buxtehude (1637-1707) is the frequently told story of the young Johann Sebastian Bach walking more than 200 miles to hear the great man play during one of his famous \u003ci\u003eAbendmusiken\u003c\/i\u003e concerts in L beck. It is widely believed that Bach was responsible for helping preserve Buxtehude's organ music, much of which he brought back with him from the north-German city. Today, Buxtehude's talents as a composer are especially evident in his remarkable instrumental music -- pieces that strongly influenced Bach, Bach's contemporaries, and later composers.\u003cbr\u003eThe present compilation comprises 19 keyboard suites, each consisting of four classic, extremely popular, stylized court dances: the allemande, courante, sarabande, and gigue. Slight variations (such as a pair of sarabandes) are also included.\u003cbr\u003eSelected from an authoritative early edition, these expressive, beautifully constructed pieces will appeal to a wide range of keyboard musicians and music lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486420455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.98h x 9.02w x 0.22d","brand":"Dietrich Buxtehude","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36637765304476,"sku":"9780486420455","price":11.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ae09184b-2654-4d8e-9ac3-6c3855d9628d.jpg?v=1603845635","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/keyboard-suites-9780486420455","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
