François Couperin

born in Paris, France, composed during the Baroque period
François Couperin (1668-1733) was a major French composer of the Baroque era and the most significant member of the musical Couperin family. A leading exponent of organ and harpsichord teaching in his day, he is best remembered for his Pièces de clavecin, published in four books. Couperin wrote more than 220 keyboard compositions that were often witty character studies that featured elements of the French and Italian styles. Appointed organist to the Royal Chapel by Louis XIV, Couperin also composed sacred music, including motets and other vocal works of a non-liturgical nature, and probably provided concert music for performances at Versailles. ~ Blair Sanderson, Rovi
