| | François Couperin (Le Grand): a biographical note |
 | | François Couperin was born in Paris in 1668, the son of Charles Couperin (1638-79), the organist St Gervais in Paris. | | | François, an early musical genius, was already deputizing for Lalande at the age of ten, and on his 18th birthday he officially inherited his father's previous position. | | | Couperin's interest in the Italian style, as represented by Carissimi and distilled by Charpentier, influenced his sacred vocal music, particularly his motets, versets and leçons de ténèbres. |

| | AMARCORDES - Couperin |
| | Couperin spent much of his time teaching the harpsichord (perhaps too much, if one is to judge from the delays in the publication of his music). | | | Couperin’s use of texture shows his keen awareness of the particular sonorities of the harpsichords produced by French workshops of this period: his second book is remarkable for the number of pieces (see ordre no.7) using only the lower half of the keyboard, which was specially full and sonorous on French instruments. | | | Couperin was not usually specific about the instrumentation of his chamber music. |

| | ON CLASSICAL. François Couperin biography |
| | Couperin's mode of writing harpsichord music is very peculiar: it was in constant aim to set down the music with the greatest possible fulness exactly as he played it on his instrument. | | | In 1693 Francois Couperin became organist at the Royal Chapel in Versailles, and in 1717 he secured the post of harpsichordist in the "musique de chambre", a position which Couperin passed on to his daughter Marguerite-Antoinette (only one of his three children that became a professional musician) in 1730. | | | Even if the name of Francois Couperin is not immediately associated with sacred music, this genre represents the major concentration of his activities as a composer in his youth and early maturity. |

| | HOASM: François Couperin |
| | Few details of Couperin's early life are known; it is likely that his early musical instruction came from his father and perhaps also from Louis. | | | In 1690 François acquired his first royal privilege to print music, which he had planned to use for his first datable composition, the Pièces d'orgue;only the engraved title page (attached to a manuscript copy) survives. | | | During the next two decades Couperin established himself as one of the leading harpsichordists of his day; he also composed church and chamber music during the king's final years. |

| | Ainsi de la généalogie des Couperin comme celle des Bach: la modestie des ancêtres y prépare l'assimilation patiente et bien assurée des règles de la composition, qui font alors partie du quotidien, du bien-savoir élémentaire, comme on hérite de la sapience des saisons dans les métiers de la terre. | | | Ainsi, Couperin apparaît bien comme l'un des grands maîtres du clavier en ce siècle qui en connut beaucoup, pour son art unique de peindre en quelques soupirs une palette d'émotions entrelacées. | | | Cette complexion se trouve déjà, au XVIè siècle, chez l'arrière-grand-père Mathurin Couperin (1569-1640), déclaré "joueur d'instruments" à Tournan-en-Brie, au baillage de Melun. |

| | While Couperin did compose motets and other sacred music for voices, he bequeathed a superior repertory for the harpsichord; his Pièces de clavecin (1713-30) and L'art de toucher le clavecin (1717) are monuments of harpsichord literature and technique. | | | Also known as "le Grand" to distinguish him from his larger family of musicians, François Couperin became organist of Saint-Gervais in the year of Bach's birth and advanced to the royal chapel of Louis XIV in 1693, eight years later. | | | In 1701 Couperin was promoted to chamber musician and music master to the royal family. |
