Composers

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (1714–1788) was a German composer and keyboard musician of the late Baroque and early Classical eras. A principal voice of the empfindsamer Stil, he helped found the expressive Classical style.

Claude-Bénigne Balbastre

Claude Balbastre wrote flamboyant French harpsichord character pieces and Noëls that thrived in Parisian salons and on the organ: portrait pieces full of colour, dance rhythm and courtly swagger, still vivid when the keys rattle and the stops open.

François Couperin

François Couperin (1668–1733) was a French Baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist, known as Couperin le Grand. Organist to Louis XIV and to Saint-Gervais in Paris, he remains the supreme French master of the harpsichord.

Jean-Philippe Rameau

Rameau's harpsichord writing is theatre for the fingers: character pieces that cluck and whirl, doubles that spin a gavotte into pure virtuosity, and Pièces de clavecin en concerts where the keyboard stands equal with violin and flute rather than trailing as continuo.

Domenico Scarlatti

Domenico Scarlatti (1685–1757) was an Italian composer who spent much of his career at the Portuguese and Spanish courts. He is known almost exclusively for his 555 keyboard sonatas.

Antonio Soler

Antonio Soler (1729–83) was choirmaster and monk at El Escorial, composing keyboard sonatas, organ concertos, and church music for the monastery and royal court.
