Les Moissonneurs (Reapers), Couperin

Piece for harsichord. Couperin indicates "notes inegales" for the 2nd and 3rd couplets. The use of inegales is called "Coulee". The paired 8th notes have a short-long rhythm instead of long-short. My performance of inegales is very faulty; it is not easy to "get" without instruction, and after years of playing a more German Baroque style.

you should play with more inegalite ;) But I think you didn't study the harpsichord music. And also you could play it quicker.

You are right; I never studied the harpsichord with a harpsichord teacher.

Nicely executed trills

I like your tempo very much. Your technique is confident and the sound is fluent. If you were playing to a large paying audience, then the criticisms below may be valid, but since you are playing, as an amateur, to a wide number of viewers, why then you are to be congratulated and thanked for sharing your talent.
