By GRIGORY SOKOLOV. Composed by J. P. Rameau. Baroque. Score. 3 pages. Polly #896024. Published by Polly (A0.1306695)."Les Sauvages" is a famous harpsichord piece composed by the French composer Jean-Philippe Rameau. It is part of Rameau's suite of keyboard pieces titled "Nouvelles Suites de Pièces de Clavecin" (New Suites of Harpsichord Pieces), which he composed in the early 18th century. "Les Sauvages" is the closing piece of the suite titled "Suite in G major."
This composition is renowned for its lively and spirited character. It reflects the fascination with the exotic and the "savage" that was a prevalent theme in European art and music during the 18th century. "Les Sauvages" is known for its energetic and rhythmic qualities, featuring rapid and repetitive musical figures that evoke a sense of wild and primal dancing.
Rameau's "Les Sauvages" remains a popular and frequently performed piece in the harpsichord and classical music repertoire. Its lively and exuberant character makes it a favorite choice for harpsichordists and audiences alike, and it provides a glimpse into the musical tastes and styles of the Baroque era.
