Volume 2 of Couperin's "Pieces de clavecin", first published in 1717, is now appearing in an Urtext edition. The eight preludes and one allemande from his treatise "L'Art de toucher le clavecin" are also included in the appendix. For the first time Denis Herlin has evaluated the many later impressions of the original print, most of which he unearthed himself in international libraries. By preserving the essential features of the original print while largely dispensing with disruptive page turns within the pieces, the volume brings modern performers close to the special sound of this music. Rounding off this pioneering new edition are an extensive Foreword, notes on historical performance practice, a comprehensive glossary, facsimile pages and a detailed Critical Commentary.
