Within this work I tried to emulate the essence of the baroque suite, alternating dances with different tempo and style. But instead of the standard suite movements I built up this piece with a Prelude, Quasi un mambo, Pavana and a Tarantella. Besides, each movements is composed following Oliver Messian's modes of limited transposition, specifically II (Fantasia), III (Quasi un mambo), V (Pavana), IV and VI (Tarantella).
