In the detailed Foreword ... Herlin explains the circumstances of composition, structure, ornamentation and also touches on the question of instruments. The musical notation is of delightful clarity ... The care that Couperin gave to the engraving of his ‘Pièces de clavecin’ is attested by the interspersed facsimiles of the first print, which lend this edition a bibliophile touch.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(The Jury · German Music Edition Award 2017 · BA10844)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Urtext edition of the “Quatrième livre” (1730) containing harpsichord pieces divided into eight ordres concludes Bärenreiter’s authoritative new edition of Couperin's “Pièces de clavecin”.
