By the time he issued his first collection of harpsichord suites in 1720, Handel had already focused his attention entirely on opera. As soon as it was published, the set delighted music lovers and became a bestseller all over Europe. It was such a success that it was reprinted many times. Alternating between the French and Italian styles, Handel does not respect the customary sequence of dance suites of the period. But he does touch the heart. Their direct charm and imaginative power earn these pieces, unjustly neglected today, their place in the pantheon of harpsichord music.

Lorsqu'il publie son premier recueil de Suites pour clavecin en 1720, Händel est déjà entièrement tourné vers l'opéra. Dès sa parution, son nouvel ouvrage émerveille les amateurs et on se l'arrache partout en Europe. Le succès est tel qu'il sera réédité de nombreuses fois. Alternant styles français et italien, Händel ne respecte pas pour autant l'ordonnancement habituel des suites de l'époque. Mais il touche au cœur. Séduction immédiate et puissance de l'imagination placent ces pages, injustement négligées aujourd'hui, au panthéon de la musique pour clavecin.
