From early in the 17th century until the form engaged the interest of Johann Sebastian Bach, various notable German composers - including Rosenmuller, Fischer, Fasch and Telemann - had contributed to the development of the orchestral suite or `Ouverture`, which name betrays its French theatrical origins. From Bach himself only four such suites have come down to us due to the diligence of C.F.Penzel, who was a student at the Thomasschule from 1751, and who made copies of Bach`s MSS he found there. Thus, neither the dates nor the order of composition of the suites can be established with any certainty.
As to the present suite in B minor, recent criticism suggests that Bach`s idiomatic flute writing in this popular suite would, even in 1737 or later, have been considered fashionably up-to-date even in Paris. It has also been suggested that the suite could have been written expressly for Pierre-Gabriel Buffardin, principal flautist of the Dresden Court Orchestra.
