Manuscrits, 9.
Geneva, 2/ 1998. 23 x 31 cm, 49,
406 pp. (Reprint of 1973 edition with totally
new prefatory material). Line-cut of the single most important
manuscript of 17th-c. French keyboard music; the ms was once in the
possession of the Bauyn d'Angervilliers family from which it gets its
name. Almost all the known harpsichord works of Jacques Champion de Chambonnières
and Louis
Couperin are here, respectively in parts I & II of the ms; part III
is an impressive anthology of works by French, English and Italian
contemporaries, including Richard (11), Hardel (7), Dumont (9),
Froberger (23),
and Frescobaldi (3). The entire ms, in a meticulous and elegant
calligraphy, and using both conventional and "free" notation, was
copied by a single scribe; the works of parts I-II are carefully
organized according to key, in ascending order. Wrappers, in beautiful
red paper with printed title and reproduction of the coat of arms of
the Bauyn d'Angervilliers & Mathefelon families.
