The ''Concerts Royaux'' (''Royal Concerts'') are four suites composed by François Couperin for the French court of Louis XIV between 1714 and 1715 – hence the qualifier "royal". Composed while chamber music concerts were in vogue, they are intended for listening more than dancing. They were published in 1722 without indication of instrumentation; therefore, the same piece can be played by solo harpsichord or by an ensemble with a bass instrument, a violin, a viol, and an oboe or a flute. (This freedom of instrumentation is also found in certain works of Marin Marais and Gaspard Le Roux). This collection was supplemented in 1724 by a set of "Nouveaux Concerts" with the subtitle ''les Goûts réunis,'' or the "reunited tastes" of French and Italian styles. Each concert is composed of a prelude and a succession of dances in the traditional order (allemande, sarabande or courante, followed by other dances.) *''Premier concert'' * *Prélude * *Allemande * *Sarabande * *Gavotte * *Gigue * *Menuet en trio *''Deuxième concert'' * *Prélude * *Allemande fuguée * *Air tendre * *Air contrefugué * *Echos *''Troisième concert'' * *Prélude * *Allemande * *Courante * *Sarabande grave * *Gavotte * *Musette * *Chaconne légère *''Quatrième concert'' * *Prélude * *Allemande * *Courante française * *Courante à l'italienne * *Sarabande * *Rigaudon * *Forlane ==See also== * List of compositions by François Couperin 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Concerts royaux (Couperin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
