Description:
The daughter of a French harpsichord maker, Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre first learned to play under her father's tutelage. At a young age, she was brought into the court of King Louis as a musician. Élisabeth taught, composed, and performed throughout Paris - a rare accomplishment for a woman at that time. This Allemande from her Suite No. 2 features the elegant style of the period. Originally highly ornamented, this arrangement has been simplified so that developing players may experience the music of this historically important composer.
