Suite de lardiouissance Continuation of the Rejoicing; Premierlivre de pilces de clavecin First Book of Pieces for the Harpsichord The French composer Louis-Claude Daquin (1694-1772) was very precocious as a child, holding organist's posts in Paris from the age of 12. In 1739 he was appointed organiste du rol (organist to the kin$. He was widely regarded as the flnest French keyboard player of his generation. Daquin's Premier liure de pibces de clauecin is made up of four suites. The Gavotte en rondeau printed here is the last movement from the

fourth suite, most of which consists of a diuertissemen (entertainment) celebrating the pleasures of hunting. This gavotte is entitled 'Continuation of the Rejoicingl as it immediately follows a movement in which the hunters are depicted rejoicing over the success of their sport. The piece illustrates the simplest type of rondeau form: A (rondeau theme, bb. 1-16), B (episode, bb. 17-28), A (da capo of the rondeau theme). The quavers might be ptayea in unequal pairs (roughly f] = Ib according to the French notes inigales of the period. The slur, staccatos and dlmamics are editorial suggestions only.

Sechs musicalische Partien Six Musical Partitas

The German composer Iohann IGieger (1651-1735) was bom in Nuremberg but settled in the city of Zttau in eastern Germany, where he was employed as cantor (director of church music) and organist for A3 years. He published two books of keyboard music in the 1690s and is regarded as one of the best German keyboard composers of his

generation

The bounde is a moderately guick dance in duple tirne - deslrite the time signature of IGieger's Bourr6e, it is preferable to think in terms of two minim fs4ts per bar. All slurs, ornaments and dynamics are editorial zuggestions only. tn the exam, the frst repeat should be played, but not

This piece is adapted from the trio that forms the middle section of the third movement (Menuetto) of Schubert's Fifth Symphony. Alongside the 'Trout Quintet, this symphonyis one of his earliest instrumental masterpieces, written in 1816 when he was only 19 years old. The trio is notable not just for its lovely Schubertian melody, but for its lilting dance-like quality.
