-Functional harmony which relies on perfect cadences and standard chord progressions to establish and maintain major/minor tonality
-End of Sarabande and end of Gigue use perfect cadences
-Harmony is largely diatonic
-Triads are mainly in root position or first inversion
-Chords are frequently arpeggiated
-Examples of dissonance throughout in order to create harmonic tension
-Use of extended chords (mainly 7s, eg bar 8)
-A diminished 7th over a tonic pedal is seen in bar 12
-Examples of suspensions (bar 75 and 77 of gigue)
-Faster harmonic rhythm leading up to important points
