It has entries for all of the printed music known to have existed, over 230 volumes, and 150 manuscripts. It offers precise transcriptions of the title pages, full contents, dating, locations, editions, facsimiles, evaluations in the\n\u003cbr\u003econtemporary press, identifications of dedicatees, and stylistic comments.  The eighteenth-century French harpsichord repertory is shown to extend from 1699 to about 1780, from Louis\n\u003cbr\u003eMarchand's Pièces de clavecin to the four Symphonies concertantes by Jean-François Tapray that juxtapose the harpsichord and piano as solo instruments. All original keyboard music is included. Since the introduction of the piano into France occurred during the twenty years preceding 1780, this Catalogue includes some music that may have been intended for that instrument rather than for the harpsichord. This period of transition is discussed in full in the Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156751020270,"sku":"9780193152564","price":529.91,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780193152564.jpg?v=1706209681","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/catalogue-of-french-harpsichord-music-1699-1780-a","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
