Horváth, Anikó, ed | Elek, Szilvia, ed | This brand-new series is intended as a guide to the keyboard music of the | 16th to 19th centuries for pupils of the piano and the harpsichord, as well | as of other early keyboard instruments. Each volume contains pieces by | well-known and lesser-known composers from one country or region. The main | purpose of the series is to extend the repertoire and stylistic knowledge of | both pianists and harpsichordists while also presenting fine pieces and | typical genres based on original sources. Our edition retains the performance | indications of the composers' manuscripts and contemporary editions. Each | volume includes:- suggestions for stylistically appropriate performance | bothon the piano and on period instruments- suggested elaborated versions of | some pieces and excerpts- a fold-out list of ornamentation signs and the | composers' own tables of ornamentation signs- biographies of the composers | and the sources of the pieces- translations of foreign-language performance | indications. The two volumes devoted to French keyboard music includes close | to 50 showy and relatively easy works - preludes, dances, suites, rondeaux, | and character pieces - from the early 16th until the late 18th century | (ordered chronologically).This publication is printed on high-quality, | age-resistant paper that is produced in an environmentally-friendly, | climate-neutral manner using renewable raw materials. | Content | Pavane (Anonyme (Collection Attaingnant, 1531)) | Gaillarde (Anonyme (Collection Attaingnant, 1531)) | Basse dance (Anonyme (Collection Attaingnant, 1531)) | Chambonnieres (Komponist): 7e Suite - Allemande - Courante - Courante - | Courante Sarabande | Couperin (Komponist): Prélude en la mineur | Couperin (Komponist): Prélude en sol majeur | Couperin (Komponist): Chaconne | Lebegue (Komponist): Passacaille | Lebegue (Komponist): Gavotte Double | Lebegue (Komponist): Menuet | d'Anglebert (Komponist): Sarabande | d'Anglebert (Komponist): Ouverture de Cadmus (par M. de Lully) | le Roux (Komponist): 3e Suite - Prélude - Allemande - Courante - Sarabande - | Sarabande en Rondeau - Gavotte - Menuet - Double du Menuet - Autre Menue | de la Guerre (Komponist): Gavotte | de la Guerre (Komponist): Chaconne: L'Inconstante | Dieupart (Komponist): 2e Suite - Ouverture - Allemande - Courante - Sarabande | - Gavotte - Passepied Gigue | Couperin (Komponist): 1e Prélude | Couperin (Komponist): 4e Prélude | Couperin (Komponist): 4e Ordre - La Marche des Gris-vetus - Les Baccanales - | La Pateline - Le Réveil-matin | Marchand (Komponist): Suite - Prélude - Allemande - Courante - Sarabande - | Gigue - Gavotte - Menuet - Menuet en Rondeau | Forqueray (Komponist): La Cottin | Forqueray (Komponist): La Eynaud | Clérambault (Komponist): Suite - Prélude - Allemande - Courante - Sarabande | Grave Gigue
