J.S.
巴赫一生共為鍵盤樂器寫了20多首組曲,其中包括6首《英國組曲》,6首《法國組曲》,6首《帕蒂塔》。
《法國組曲》作於1722年,正值
巴赫的科滕時期,工作和生活都比較順利。這套《法國組曲》是
巴赫為第二任妻子安娜而寫,充滿了溫柔和甜蜜,手稿存於“為安娜.馬格達勒娜.
巴赫的鍵盤小曲集”內。《法國組曲》並非作者自己命名,據說是由
巴赫的學生所取,因其風格與法國作曲家庫普蘭的組曲十分相似。
《法國組曲》屬於組曲體載,組曲是十七、十八世紀流行於歐洲的一種器樂套曲,通常由四首速度和節拍不同,但調性統一的舞曲按一定順序組合而成。這些不同的節拍、速度、性格的舞曲互為襯托,形成鮮明對照。它們是:
(1)阿列曼德舞曲,4/4拍子,多為沉穩的情緒。
(2)庫蘭特舞曲,活潑的3/4拍子。
(3)薩拉班德舞曲,也是3/4拍,但緩慢、凝重,常有悲哀的意味。
(4)吉格舞曲,是非常快的三拍子。
除這四個基本部分外,還可加入加伏特舞曲(中速,4/4)、小步舞曲(典雅的3/4拍)、布列舞曲(快速的四拍子,總是從弱拍開始)。這套法國組曲中的第四號是意境最美的,第五號是最膾炙人口的,第六號是最歡快的。
