🇫🇷Jean-Philippe Rameau ： Cinq Pièces pour clavecin seul, extraites des Pièces de clavecin en concerts L’agacante

Fine-grained motion and a lively, agile character make this a witty miniature in Rameau’s style. Short phrases seem to pass one another in quick succession, while changes between voices and subtle rhythmic movement create a restlessness and humor that recall the title. A key point for the listener is the careful shaping of phrase endings and ornaments while maintaining the overall flow. In performance, the delicate right-hand figures should be kept crisp and even, with a light, clear accompaniment in the left hand. Rather than exaggerating the dynamics, articulation and the handling of pauses can bring out the piece’s nimble character naturally.
