  • I do not believe that this piece is a "character piece" describing the canry bird or the canary isles.

    Canaries was a dance form in the French baroque, similar to the Gigue, which was mostly in duple time (though with the characteristic "jumping" dotted rhythm so that it sounded like triple time even though it was notated in duple time), while the Canries was in triple time. This piece happens to be in this typical dance form, so it is unlikely that the title means something different.

  • Very well played!

  • J'ai du lire cela sur une pochette de disque. Vous avez le même type de pièce chez son oncle, Louis Couperin (n°52 dans manuscrit Bauyn). Les deux sont en ré mineur.

    Danse rapide à 3 temps en provenance des iles Canaries (on était friand d'exotisme sous Louis-le-Grand !)

    Quand aux significations des titres de F. Couperin, c'est parfois un peu énigmatique !

  • sauf que ici ce sont les îles "canaries" dont il est question, et non les oiseaux "canaris" ;)
