Details

All things French reached far and wide in most of the German states. Much of the music written for the German courts was done in the French style, i.e. dance suites. Whether they were labeled Suite, Overture, Concert or Sinfonia, these works were primarily dance suites, starting with a majestic overture, followed by a series of dance movements.
