Les Barricades Mystérieuses (Couperin) - Guitar Duet (arr. Louise Toller) by Francois Couperin Guitar Duet - Digital Sheet Music
By Francois CouperinAn arrangement of Couperin's hypnotic harpsichord solo for two guitars. This arrangement retains all four independently-moving voices, divided between the two parts. There is no clear melody, but a blurring of melody and harmony created by the layered voices. With its overlapping and gradually shifting harmonies, continuous suspensions, interlocking rhythms and constant syncopation, this piece is full of richness and complexity.When playing, ensure none of the layers get lost, and that notes are held for their full durations, in order to bring out Couperin's beautiful harmonies.
