This collection was Fischer’s last keyboard
publication and its nine Suites bear the names of the
nine Muses. The suites represent a fusion of German and
French styles.
Euterpe (rejoicing well, delight) was presiding over
music. She was named muse of lyric poetry and called
“Giver of delight” by ancient poets. She inspired
the development of liberal and fine arts in Ancient
Greece, serving as an inspiration to artists.
