BACH - PASSEPIED II, English Suite - Marko Hatlak Accordion

This video presents Passepied II from Johann Sebastian Bach’s English Suite No. 6, performed on accordion by Marko Hatlak. Written between 1715 and 1720, the English Suites are a set of six dance suites for keyboard that merge the elegance of French dance forms with Bach’s signature contrapuntal technique. Passepied II serves as a companion piece to Passepied I, often paired in an A–B–A da capo structure. Lively, light-footed, and written in a quick triple meter, it reflects the character of a French courtly dance, yet its voice-leading and rhythmic detail reveal Bach’s compositional depth. Performed on accordion, this rendition gives a new timbral texture to the movement, highlighting both its rhythmic grace and harmonic interplay.
