François Couperin: The Eight Preludes From L'Art de toucher le Clavecin

Here are the eight preludes crowning François Couperin's essential and rightfully famous book, with the 'appetizing' title "L'Art de toucher le Clavecin", It is a subtle title - hinting more how to 'touch' the instrument - rather than 'just playing' it. Equally subtle and expressive are these short preludes - concise in form and yet, delightfully free and agreeable - with unending inspiring to young and old! The book was first published in 1717 - also as a handy 'compendium' to his first two Livres of harpsichord pieces. I have been wanting to do this video for a long time - to share this breathtakingly beautiful & tender music with you all - and wish for us all to delight in François Couperin's world of non-compromised beauty! As for the instrument: This is the FF - g''' double that I built (..from scratch), in Oslo, back in 1971 - in a 'late-Flemish style' - exceedingly inspired by Martin Skowroneck. For this recording, it was tuned in an agreeable unequal temperament, giving enough room to perifere keys, without unduly compromising the more central. The tuning pitch is 396Hz - where the instrument sounds the most balanced. As for the video: Recorded 'at home' on 27th of April 2021 - with my Leica M240P - with three lenses: a Super-Elmar 21 ASPH, the classic Canon 2,8/28 (LTM) and the truly unique Summilux 35 ASPHERICAL ('AA'). Audio went through a Zoom H6 with it's built in microphone - and was tweaked in Audacity - and all mixed in iMovie on my MacBook Pro. This video recording pretends, by no means, a broadcast quality - and is also not a 'TV-program' as such - but is an honest sharing of some of the finest music I know! PS.... As there is some discussion about the alleged "misprint" in no. 3 - please go for both versions here:    • The one 'with' and the one 'without' ...
