    COUPERIN

    Les Baricades

    Mistérieuses

    CPE BACH

    Solfeggio

    Edition Peters ISMN: 979-0-014-13683-3 (Couperin); -13682-6 (Bach)

    The enigmatically titled ‘Les Baricades Mistérieuses’ was published around 1717 as part of Couperin’s Second . It is a four-page piece in rondo form, around Grade 7, with three couplets inserted between four appearances of the eight-bar refrain. Featuring syncopated harmonies that create a mesmerising effect, this single edition from Edition Peters benefits from clear and spacious presentation and is printed without fingering suggestions. Bach’s Solfeggio is a popular two-page piece that has been set indication often leads youngsters to test the limits of their finger speed. This piece is available from many sources, but this edition is worth considering if you’re happy to work out your own fingering and insert a indication that is missing on the third beat of bar 29.
