has-text-align-center\">Preface to the Edition<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">The present volume seeks to validate Jean-Philippe Rameau\u2019s assertion concerning his <em>Pi\u00e8ces de Clavecin en Concerts<\/em>: that they are all eminently playable in alternative versions on the unaccompanied harpsichord. The full title of his original edition of 1741 reads: <em>Pi\u00e8ces de Clavecin en Concerts, avec un violon ou une fl\u00fbte, et une viole ou un deuxi\u00e8me violon<\/em>. Under the heading \u00ab<em>Avis aux concertans<\/em>\u00bb [Advice to performers], Rameau writes, \u00ab<em>Ces Pi\u00e8ces ex\u00e9cut\u00e9es sur le Clavecin seul ne laissent rien \u00e0 d\u00e9sirer; on n\u2019y soup\u00e7onne pas m\u00eame qu\u2019elles soient susceptibles d\u2019aucun autre agr\u00e9ment: c\u2019est du moins l\u2019opinion de plusieurs personnes de go\u00fbt &amp; du m\u00e9tier que j\u2019ai consult\u00e9es sur ce sujet, &amp; dont la pl\u00fbpart a bien voulu me faire l\u2019honneur d\u2019en nommer quelques-unes<\/em>.\u00bb [\u201cPerformed on harpsichord alone, these pieces leave nothing more to be desired; one would not even suspect that they may be played with any other adornment: that is at least the opinion of several persons of taste and authority whom I have consulted on this subject, in most cases honouring me by naming some of the pieces.\u201d]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rameau\u2019s 1741 edition contains his own solo harpsichord arrangements of <em>La Livri<\/em>, <em>L\u2019Aga\u00e7ante, La Timide<\/em> (comprising two <em>Rondeaux gracieux<\/em>), and <em>L\u2019Indiscr\u00e8te<\/em>, each representing a movement from Concerts I through IV. In addition to the purely practical and secondary function of filling blank pages necessitated by page turns in the original edition, these alternative versions provide telling insights and clues; they are illuminating exemplars demonstrating how the remaining pieces may be realized in a similar manner. The composer explains, \u00ab<em>J\u2019ai tir\u00e9 de ces Concerts cinq petites Pi\u00e8ces pour le Clavecin seul, \u00e0 cause de quelques diff\u00e9rences qui s\u2019y trouvent lorsque le Violon &amp; la Viole les accompagnent<\/em>.\u00bb [\u201cI have arranged from these Concerts five little pieces for solo harpsichord, because of a few differences encountered when performing them without the violin and viol.\u201d] A study of Rameau\u2019s arrangements reveals his technique of refashioning passages, particularly where the violin and viol take the fore. Elsewhere, the obbligato harpsichord part is virtually unchanged, the accompanying parts being judged dispensable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In writing my own solo arrangements of the remaining pieces from the <em>Pi\u00e8ces de Clavecin en Concerts<\/em>, I have used Rameau\u2019s arrangements as models. In certain cases only discreet changes to the original obbligato harpsichord parts were required (<em>Le V\u00e9zinet<\/em>, <em>La Boucon<\/em>). In others it was necessary to undertake a recasting of the music (<em>Tambourins<\/em>, <em>La Forqueray<\/em>, <em>La Cupis<\/em>), at least to the extent that Rameau demonstrates through his own examples. Under the heading \u00ab<em>Avis pour le clavecin<\/em>\u00bb in the 1741 edition, the composer also offers very specific practical advice on adapting certain pieces (<em>Tambourins<\/em>, <em>La Pantomime<\/em>, <em>La Rameau<\/em>) as harpsichord solos. These suggestions have been incorporated in my arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compiling the present volume by uniting my arrangements with Rameau\u2019s, I have desired to show the composer\u2019s arrangements as part of a complete whole, in contrast to their usual appearance in most modern editions as ostensibly \u2018orphaned\u2019 harpsichord pieces. It is hoped that \u2013 alongside the original settings, and orchestral settings of some pieces in the operas and ballets \u2013 this volume may provide new perspective, and an additional source of enjoyment, understanding, and appreciation of Rameau\u2019s art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DAVID LOUIE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/davidlouiepiano.com\/index.php\/shop\/\">shop<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pi\u00e8ces de Clavecin en Concerts (1741) Complete Version for Solo Keyboard by David Louie (2015) &hellip; <span class=\"more-button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/davidlouiepiano.com\/index.php\/compositions\/rameau-audio-gallery\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Rameau (arr.
