Pièces de clavecin

by Antoine Forqueray

Composed 1730–1745
Published 1747
Works 5

Five suites of harpsichord pieces transcribed by Jean-Baptiste Forqueray from his father Antoine's viola da gamba works. The dramatic intensity, wide leaps, and virtuosic passagework give these pieces a darker, more fiery character than most French Baroque harpsichord music.
