It is hard to imagine French music of the second half of the 17th century and the early decades of the 18th century without the harpsichord. This remarkable instrument \u2013 a symbol of elegance and refinement \u2013 enjoyed particular esteem at the royal court and among the aristocracy. Composers competed in elaborate ornamentation, technical innovations, and sophisticated melodic and harmonic solutions. The suites of Louis Couperin, the prematurely deceased patriarch of a powerful dynasty of musicians, captivate with their harmonic richness and polyphonic inventiveness. The dance-like nature of the genre was especially well understood by Jacques Champion de Chambonni\u00e8res \u2013 a composer and performer, but also a talented dancer who even shared the stage with Louis XIV himself. The program will also feature a work by the most famous female composer of the Ancien R\u00e9gime<\/em>, \u00c9lisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. While amateur instrument playing was a standard part of women\u2019s education, the pursuit of an independent musical career remained a rare exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second part of the concert will open with three illustrative miniatures by Jean-Philippe Rameau. The term L\u2019Aga\u00e7ante<\/em> refers to an annoying person or thing, while La Livri<\/em> serves as an elegy for the death of a generous patron of the arts. La Dauphine<\/em>, one of Rameau\u2019s last harpsichord pieces, was likely composed to celebrate the wedding of Dauphin Louis Ferdinand (son of King Louis XV) to Maria Josepha of Saxony in 1747. The program will also include works by Fran\u00e7ois Couperin, who during his lifetime earned the epithet \u201cLe Grand.\u201d Each of the miniatures in his Dix-neuvi\u00e8me Ordre<\/em> bears a title, as the composer himself emphasized that he always had “an object in view, furnished by various occasions” while writing them. The concert will conclude with the G major Suite, originally composed by Antoine Forqueray for viola da gamba and, after his death, transcribed for harpsichord by his son, Jean-Baptiste. The titles of its individual movements pay homage to renowned Parisian musicians such as Jean Dubreuil, Jean-Marie Leclair, and Ren\u00e9 du Buisson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust as there is a great difference between grammar and recitation, so too is there an immense gap between musical notation and a good performance,\u201d claimed Fran\u00e7ois Couperin. The secrets of the French style will be unveiled to the audience by one of the most talented young harpsichordists of his generation \u2013 the multi-award-winning Maciej Skrzeczkowski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
