description
Jacques Duphly (1715-1789) was the last great clavecinist of the Ancien Regime and, curiously, he died exactly one day after the storming of the Bastille, which heralded the end of the regime. After several positions as organist in various cities, Duphly settled in Paris in 1742 as harpsichordist and gave up playing the organ altogether in order not to spoil his hand through the organ, as Marpurg reported in 1754. Soon afterwards, in 1742, he published his first collection, which still follows the traditional guidelines of French harpsichord music. In the following three books, which were published until 1756, forms, tonal arrangement and design are handled with increasing freedom. In his harpsichord pieces, Duphly exploits the possibilities of the harpsichord to the limit, whereby the technical requirements and effects suggest that he was familiar with Scarlatti's sonatas. Elisabeth Joyé presents this little known music on a wonderful anonymous historical harpsichord from the Chateau, d'Assas, whose composer completed the musical heritage of Couperin and Rameau.
