François Couperin's compositions are among the following the most important of the French Baroque. His musical career in Paris brought him and I've earned him considerable credit.

The "Suites for Viola da Gamba and Harpsichord" are late works, published they were 1728, and they are impressive examples of its inexhaustible, expressive Composition style. It can be used here both italian influences recognize, Couperin rejects but also to another genius of the french music history - Marin Marais, who died in the same year as the suites have been published.

Dense and passionate the suites reveal their lyrical and virtuoso character, they are of Italian mastery at the same time and French colourfulness The last of Couperin's harpsichord "Ordres" (or suites) consists of four various pieces, including "Les Chinois", an early testimony of the Interest in China, which during the of this epoch not only the western Music influenced.
