Par COUPERIN FRANCOIS / GILBERT. The first volume of Couperin 's Harpsichord Pieces does not contain a date of publication, however, it is thought to have been composed during 1716-1717, due to the address which the composer gave on his other Harpsichord compositions. Yet, the compilation remains a favourite. François Couperin (1668-1733) is often nicknamed 'Couperin the Great' to distinguish him from other members of the musical family. Many of the composer's works have picturesque titles. Examples of this in his first volume of Pieces for Harpsichord include, Les Papillons (The Butterflies), L'Enchanteresse (The Enchanting) and LesPlaisirs de Saint Germain en Laÿ e (The Pleasures of Saint Germain en Laÿ e). Couperin 's moods are expressed through choices of keys, adventurous harmonies and discords. With a significant amount of variation and inspiration, Pieces for Harpsichord is essential to the repertoire of aspiring players of the instrument./ Répertoire / Clavecin

Édition critique de Emilia Fadini
Le 10e volume de la Sonate per clavicembalo de Domenico Scarlatti représente un jalon crucial de cette série, à savoir les trente Essercizi per gravicembalo (Londres, 1738-1739) au c?ur de la production du compositeur. Pendant longtemps, le style de ces sonates et leur rôle dans l'histoire de la musique pour clavier ont été débattus. Mais personne n'avait jamais examiné à fond les aspects clés de la critique textuelle, conçue non seulement comme une reconstruction détaillée du texte, mais comme une étude philologique avec une portée complète. Ce volume est le premier pas dans cette direction. Le texte musical de cette édition est le résultat d'une comparaison systématique de toutes les sources imprimées et manuscrites du XVIIIe siècle préservant les précieux Essercizi de Scarlatti. Dans certains cas, l'édition présente une version alternative de la même sonate, basée sur l'examen des sources et montrant parfois un réseau complexe de variantes d'auteur. Les Notes Critiques détaillées prennent en compte toutes les variantes transmises par les sources. De nombreux sujets sont abordés dans la riche Introduction, en premier lieu le contexte historique et la genèse des sonates de Scarlatti. Par ailleurs, d'autres thèmes importants sont investigués, tels que : la relation entre les Essercizi et l'édition londonienne rivale de Roseingrave : le rôle et la chronologie des éditions françaises contemporaines, connues sous le nom de Boivin : les premières interventions d'interprètes anonymes. / Partitions classique / Piano - instruments à clavier / Clavecin / RICORDI
