François Couperin preferred music that moved him to music that merely surprised him, and his harpsichord writing makes good on that distinction. Many pieces are miniature portraits with teasing titles such as Les Barricades mystérieuses, while L’Art de toucher le clavecin sets out the precise fingering and ornamentation needed to make their elegance speak.
