Strange this french title isn't it ?

French origin ?

Great !

Best wishes.

Thanks! Of the history: I can imagine the following: The young Lord was leaving either Hannover or Hamburg, and his (French?) lute teacher wrote a small suite to the youngster to make him feel missed and thus kind of happy and melancholic... But who knows... :-)
