Dans les salons parisiens


The salons in Paris have been frequented by a lot of outstanding philosophers and scientists as well as musicians (Among of them Rameau, Campra, Marais, Couperin, Rebel, Telemann...). These gatherings were a place of expression for any kind of subject. The king of the instruments in the Salons in Paris and Versailles is the harpsichord. In the beginning of the 18th Century this instrument gets a privileged status and became the instrument around one will compose, talk about or debate. It is very easy to hear it for instance with the Pièces de clavecin en concert composed by Rameau. The harpsichord there has a very virtuoso and important part while the violin and the viola da gamba are generally more seen as an accompaniement.

The Italian Sprezzatura


Sprezzatura is an Italian word originating from Baldassare Castiglione's The book of the courtier, where it is defined by the author as ''a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it. It is the ability of the courtier to display an easy facility in accomplishing difficult actions which hides the conscious effort that went into them".

Chicaneries allemandes en trio au XVIIème et XVIIIème siècles



We chose here a selection of pieces composed in a 45 year time-span by closely related composers, all of them showing a great dialogue between the violin and the gamba. Erlebach was a typical composer in the Central-German region of Thüringen, whose traditions the young J.S. Bach drew upon to compose his early masterpieces. Bach, in his turn, had visited the great Dietrich Buxtehude in 1705 and combined the Central-German style with the Northern stylus-fantasticus in his earlier works, still visible in his Fugue for Violin and Continuo from around 1712. The Trio Sonata by Telemann, a very close friend of Bach, was published in 1718 and breaths a completely different atmosphere. It is a good example of the opulent 18th Century German chamber music. Aside from these famous composers, we decided to also play an anonymous piece from 1673, to give an extra overview of the music written in Germany of this period. Although these composers lived, worked and sometimes knew each other within quite a short amount of time, we can hear clear differences in the style and the spirit.
