Although he did not introduce new forms, he enriched
the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal
technique, an unrivalled control of harmonic and
motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms,
forms and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy
and France.
The Suites and suite movements (BWV 832–845) are a
miscellaneous collections of suites (partitas) and
miscellaneous movements of authentic and spurious
works.
The Allemande in G Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV
836) is a fragment (incomplete) taken from the Notebook
for Wilhelm Friedemann Bach: 'Klavierbüchlein für
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach' (1720) and likely composed
with Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, as No.7 in the latter's
Klavier-Büchlein.
This work, movements 1 and 2, were formerly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach as 2 Allemandes, BWV 836-837, but was also thought Wilhelm Friedemann Bach co-composed the works alongside with him, now discovered to have been composed by Pietro Giuseppe Sandoni
