Three Harpsichord Suites
Three Harpsichord Suites
* Estimated price converted from UK retail price
A notable new edition comprising three hitherto unkown harpsichord suites by the French composer Charles Dieupart (c.1667-c.1740). Most of Dieupart's keyboard output is contained in his Six Suittes de Clavessin published in 1701, but alternative versions of a number of pieces in this collection, as well as diverse movements not found elsewhere, exist in two important manuscript sources - one Austrian, the other British. Although Dieupart's harpsichord music is largely French in style, it is clear that the composer was also influenced by German music of the time.
