Added by magataganm, 24 Apr 2015 François Couperin (1668--1733) was a French Baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist. He was known as Couperin le Grand ("Couperin the Great") to distinguish him from other members of the musically talented Couperin family. Couperin was in the employ of King Louis XIV, who had his musicians perform weekly chamber music concerts in the last years of his life. After the king died in 1715 Couperin had an opportunity to bring these works together, and in 1722 he published the "Concerts royaux" and in 1724, "Les Goûts réunis ou Nouveaux Concerts". These performances were all very stylish and elegant, and one can imagine the king being royally entertained. I created this arrangement of the Nouveau Concert No.13 "à deux instruments à l'Unisson" (Les Gouts Réunis) for Viola Duet. Sheet central : | Les goûts-réunis, ou Nouveaux concerts (5 sheet music) | |
