The Keyboard suite in D minor (HWV 437) was composed by George Frideric Handel, for solo keyboard (harpsichord), between 1703 and 1706. It is also referred to as Suite de pièces Vol. 2 No. 4. It was first published in 1733.

Movements[]

The work consists of five movements:

Movement	Type	Grove^[1] reference	Händel-Gesellschaft reference	Hallische Händel-Ausgabe reference	Notes
1	Prelude	107	xlviii, 149		The prelude did not appear in the first edition published by John Walsh^[2] and was taken from Handel's keyboard suite HWV 428. HWV 561 is another version of the prelude.

3	Courante	109	ii, 82	iv/5, 30
4	Sarabande	110	ii, 82	iv/5, 31	With two variations. The piece was used in an orchestral arrangement for Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon.^[3] Dutch singer Petra Berger used the Sarabande as the musical setting for her song about Mary, Queen of Scots, "Still a Queen (In My End Is My Beginning)," from her album Eternal Woman (2001). An orchestral version was also used on the first episode of the 2018 television mini-series of Agatha Christie's "A.B.C. Murders", starring John Malkovich as Poirot.
