Pierre Février (1696–1760) was a French baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist. Born at Abbeville on 21 March 1696, he arrived in Paris in 1720 and served as titular organist of two churches on Saint-Honoré street: the Jacobins' church (destroyed at the Revolution) and Saint-Roch (still standing). Claude-Bénigne Balbastre, who moved to Paris in 1750, was among his pupils and eventually succeeded Février at Saint-Roch. Pierre Février died in Paris on 5 November 1760. Two volumes of his harpsichord pieces are extant. The first one is dated 1734 and contains five suites: * Suite in A major * * Allemande la Magnanime * * Le Concert des Dieux - Double du concert * * La Délectable * * Le Berceau * * La Boufonne ou la Paysanne * Suite in D minor * * Fugue * * Courante * * Les Plaisirs des Sens * * Le Labyrinthe * * Ariette et doubles * Suite in B minor * * Fugue * * L'Intrépide * * La Grotesque * Suite in D major * * Gavotte et doubles * * Le Brinborion * * Le Tendre Language * * Tambourin * Suite (''Festes de Campagne'') in C major * * Entrée * * Musette * * 2 Menuets * * Le Gros Colas et la Grosse Jeanne * * Les Petites Bergères The second volume, composed after 1734 and before 1737, was discovered in the late 1990s in a private collection in Belgium (Arenberg). It contains two harpsichord suites that follow a similar pattern, mixing dances and descriptive ''pièces de caractère'' in the typical late Baroque French tradition: * 1st Suite in G Minor * * Les Liens Harmoniques - Rondeau * * La Caressante - Rondeau * * La Fertillante * * La petite Coquette * * Tambourin - Rondeau * 2nd Suite in C Minor * * Allemande * * Les Tendres Tourterelles - Rondeau * * Les Croisades - Rondeau * * Menuet ==See also== * French baroque harpsichordists 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「Pierre Février」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
