The French musicologist Denis Herlin, who learned to play the harpsichord from keyboard legends such as Kenneth Gilbert and Huguette Dreyfus, has once again produced an exemplary edition of a classic of harpsichord literature. ... In the detailed preface ... Herlin explains the circumstances of composition, structure, ornamentation and also touches on the question of instruments. The musical notation is of delightful clarity ... The care Couperin took with the engraving of his Pièces de clavecin" is demonstrated by the interspersed facsimiles of the first edition, which lend this edition a bibliophile touch."
(The Jury - Deutscher Musikeditionspreis 2017 - BA10844)
This Urtext edition of the "Quatrième livre" (1730) with harpsichord pieces divided into eight ordres completes the benchmark new edition of Couperin's "Pièces de clavecin" presented by Bärenreiter. For the first time, the editor meticulously analyzes the many copies of the original print, most of which he has discovered in international libraries, whose variants are documented in detail in the Critical Report.
Numerous facsimile illustrations and the preservation of essential characteristics of the original printed image in modern engraving bring the special sound of this music closer to today's interpreters in a fascinating way. In addition to a detailed introduction, this richly illustrated edition offers information on historical performance practice, a comprehensive glossary and Couperin's "Explication des Agrémens, et des Signes" (in French and English).
