Couperin! Fuck!

@ThomasYorkshire Why do people like you visit these great musicians videos

[ThomasYorkshire]

@ttomace C'mon now man, I adore Les Barricades Mysterieuses. I'm just making a little joke. See, I realized that so few people watch this video that I could say anything I wanted in the comments and no one would notice. As it turns out, my assumption was incorrect. Anyway, you clearly did not like absurd little joke, and that's okay, but please, please sir do not assume that my love for this composition is non-existent, or that I'm "someone like that". Please, who is "someone like me"?

[ttomace]

@ThomasYorkshire Ok...but ur "joke" was quite shocking. I mean they are common in a Justin Beiber video or eminem video but not on such pages....so i thought ur some 'anti-baroquist' or someone like that....

And yeah--very few people watch these vids but those who watch it are normally in love with the art form.

@ttomace Man, I can't get enough of that baroque. I must say though, my knowledge of clasical music is not very vast, however, I do listen to a couple composers and I'd love to listen to more. My favorite composer is certainly Bach. You seem to like ol' J.S too it seems.

[ttomace]

@ThomasYorkshire Me too i like classical music a lot but am a hard-core baroque fan..classical is also nice, . especially the early ones like C P E Bach, J C Bach, Haydn,etc. it gices that transition of eras...and Yeah! who cannot be a J. S. fan. and did u know that "" ol' J. S."" was an apprentice of F. Couperin for a certain period!!!

[ThomasYorkshire]

@ttomace Wow, an apprentice of? That's very interesting. I need to get some more Couperin but I kind find any albums anywhere. Which pieces do you think are his best? What non-harpsichord stuff did he compose?

[ttomace]

@ThomasYorkshire The royal concerts are non harpsichord. He also composed a number of pieces. And all these harpsichord pieces are from 4 "livres" (4 volumes or books) containing totally 27 'ordres" ( all these books can be obtained at imslp.org) . La Convalascente, Les lis naissans, Les moissoneurs, Les Cherubins, L' Art de toucher le clavecin are a few of my favorites.....

Couperin and I were bathing in a massage parlor once, then he sucked my dick.

[pawsoned]

Wonderful piece, especially the music from the first part. I wish I could play it. 

[lostpebble]

I just love this performance and the tone of the harpsichord is simply exquisite.

Containing two of Couperins' most beautiful compositions - J.S. Bach agreed!
