Clavichord Pieces, Volume III

Couperin’s harpsichord music can be played on solo harpsichord or performed as small chamber works. These pieces were grouped into ordres, which were Couperin’s own version of suites, containing traditional dances as well as descriptive pieces. Many of Couperin’s keyboard pieces have evocative, picturesque titles and express a mood through key choices, adventurous harmonies and (resolved) discords. They have been likened to miniature tone poems. This collection contains Ordres 10-12.
