Ajoutée par kheidtmann, 05 Mar 2020 The bergerie genre popular in both poetry and music of the period is exemplified in this work. The pastoral piece has a musette imitating the drone of a bagpipe as the second couplet and can be interpreted as a calm evocation of nature. At the beginning Couperin has written out the so called finger-pedalling in the left hand, which produces a harmony and is a common Baroque practice. Anna Magdalena Bach has copied this piece into her 1725 music book (Clavierbüchlein) at the very beginning after two partitas of her husband and the famous pair of menuets in G major and in G minor from the suite of G major by Christian Petzold.
