Description:

François Coupland was one of the most important composers of the French Baroque period. He composed many chamber and vocal works, but the main part of his works is the Clavusan (harpsichord) in four volumes, consisting of 27 suites (ordre). 220 pieces are in this collection, and most of them have elegant titles. The album is a collection of 220 or so pieces, most of which are elegantly titled. In this album, Italian-based harpsichordist Lorenzetti has created his own unique "suite" by selecting 14 characteristic pieces from Volumes I and II and incorporating eight preludes from the 1716 edition of "Clavusan Technique.
