Preface: Denis
Herlin.
‘Once
again the French
musicologist Denis
Herlin, who mastered the
harpsichord under the
tutelage of such keyboard
legends as Kenneth
Gilbert and Huguette
Dreyfus, has presented an
exemplary edition of a
classic from the
harpsichord
repertoire.’ (Jury
of the German Music
Edition Prize on BA
10844)
Bärenrei
ter presents Book II of
Couperin’s
“Pièces de
clavecinâ€, first
published in 1717, In
addition the eight
preludes and one
allemande from his
treatise
“L’Art de
toucher le
clavecin†are
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.
