Bärenreiter is now publishing the 2nd volume of "Pièces de clavecin" by Francois Couperin, with the eight Préludes and an Allemande from Couperin's treatise "L'Art de toucher le clavecin" in the appendix. Denis Herlin is the first to evaluate the numerous copies of the original print, most of which he has discovered in international libraries. By preserving the essential characteristics of the original print and largely dispensing with the need to turn pages within the pieces, the modern performer is able to appreciate the special sound of this music. An extensive preface, notes on historical performance practice, a comprehensive glossary and facsimile illustrations as well as a detailed critical report round off this pioneering new edition.
