Jean-Philippe Rameau / edited by Edwin McLean

Discover the timeless beauty of Rameau’s keyboard works, originally composed for the harpsichord but seamlessly translated for the piano. In this edition, dynamics marked with piano and forte offer flexibility, while suggested tempo indications and fingering guide your performance. True to the original phrasing and ornamentation, this collection features select pieces from Rameau’s 1706 Premier livre de pièces de clavecin (First Book of Harpsichord Pieces) and 1724 Pièces de clavecin avec une méthode (Pieces for Harpsichord with a Method). Dive into the elegance of Rameau’s compositions, where history and music intertwine.
