This penultimate collection in Steven Devine's critically-acclaimed survey of the complete harpsichord works of Bach's favourite student, Johann Ludwig Krebs, features five of the six 'Galanterie-Suiten' [Galant Suites]. These works, although set in the classic framework of the Baroque Suite, actually feature the most up-to-date stylist features including, dramatic unison writing, charming "cantabile" melodies and a wide range of stylish dance forms.

Featuring one of the three surviving Partitas from a presumed set of six, this album also includes the world premiere recording of Krebs' Six Keyboard Sonatas (Krebs-WV 832-837), that only came to light during the historic restoration of the archive of the Sing-Akademie to Berlin following its removal to Ukraine during the war in 1943. With a compositional style that points to a period later in Krebs's life, these charming, witty and sometimes quirky works clearly demonstrate the composer's confident yet straightforward charm.

In this album Krebs' profound understanding of musical process, honed during his eleven years within J.S. Bach's inner circle, comes alive. The compositions featured on this disc superficially show the parallels between Krebs and his master and teacher, whilst reflecting the more up-to-date musical style of Bach's sons. The Suite in C and the Six Sonatinas form parts two and three respectively of the Clavier-Ubung (keyboard exercises): a four-part publication published in Nurenberg around 1744.
