Do you pause between movements in a piano piece such as suite?

Yes. A suite generally consists of a series of short pieces, each in a different style and having its own title and key signature.

It is customary to pause between movements of a suite to give the audience time to appreciate each movement individually and to prepare for the next movement. Additionally, some suites may have a specific tempo or mood that is best suited for each movement, so pausing between movements allows the pianist to adjust their playing accordingly.
