  • Your room is gloomy, but matches beautiful music.

  • Other clips show the room in different lighting.

  • Anyone know where i can find the notes for this song, Been looking for ages, Appreciate the one who telle me.

  • You can download it from the Werner Icking Music Archive site

  • Thank you! Great interpretation. It happens I am falling in love with Couperin all over again. Who was it who said a Flemish was unsuitable -- it was David Way, never mind, he was wrong.

  • Thank you for your comment. Much appreciated. I find that the Flemish is a good 'all rounder' as far as interpreting a large range of the harpsichord repertoire. Ironically, the Flemish instruments were highly regarded by the French builders.

  • The playing is very musical, I wonder why you don't apply the same musicality to the execution of the ornaments. Those first two ornaments for example. They come so often and, to my ear, they are always played identically. I would like to hear more variety, without, of course, changing the ornament, just varying the way in which you play them, their speed, the number of iterations, etc.

    (Too many years of teaching, I just can't resist, please forgive me.)

  • The recording is not the best. I have moved from using my poor sound digital camera on film mode to using a mini disc player and by making a collage of photos. I assure you that my harpsichord sounds very much like a Flemish double in the flesh!

  • I have this piece played by Landowska!

  • Its charme?

    With the Coucou of Daquin, it figures among the first French harpsichord pieces learnt by young...pianists.

  • does anyone know why this piece was famous?

    I really need to know for an assignment....

  • does anyone know why this piece was famous?
