Jacques Duphly

Pieces pour Clavecin en 2 volumes

Duphly's Harpsichord Pieces is in two volumes and the compilation remains a favourite in the Harpsichord repertoire. Jacques Duphly (1715-1789) studied the Harpsichord and Organ as a boy, becoming a virtuoso of both instruments. Comprising Gavottes, Menuets, and other works, this second volume of La Pupite's collection of Duphly's Harpsichord Pieces, exemplifies the composer's skills on the Harpsichord. The second volume of Harpsichord Pieces also helpfully contains a table of ornaments, demonstrating how each should be performed. Duphly's Harpsichord Pieces is essential to the repertoire of aspiring players of the instrument.
