French Clavecin Music

From a family of French musicians, François Couperin (1668–1733) was an organist, composer, and teacher at the courts of Louis XIV (1638–1715) and Louis XV (1710–1774). Influenced by English virginalists and French lute music, he composed 27 collections of clavecin (French harpsichord) music. These pieces were examples of the newer galant style (having charm, elegance, and good taste). Couperin’s book The Art of Playing the Harpsichord (1716) provides instruction on fingerings and ornaments.

Another French-court composer, Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683–1764), also composed keyboard works in galant style, but with greater emotion and technical brilliance.

Élizabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre (ca. 1665–1729) lived at the Court of Louis XIV, and she often performed and composed for the King.
