From "Pièces de clavecin", Vol. 2, Ordre No. 6. Composed by Francois Couperin. Edited by Wilhelm Ohmen. This edition: Sheet music. Edition Schott - Single Edition. Copyright 2012 Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG, Mainz. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q21292. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q21292).Alongside Chambonnières and Rameau, François Couperin was a leading French composer and harpsichordist of his time. 'Pièces de clavecin' is his best known composition, consisting of 27 suites called 'Ordres'. 'Les Barricades mystérieuses' is a rondo with three episodes or verses between which alternates the constantly recurring refrain. Instead of a melody, one can hear powerful, continuously broken syncopated harmonies. This kind of setting is reminiscent of the style of French lute music with a majestic character, yet without being ponderous. This relatively easy piece features only a few simple ornaments and is therefore particularly suitable for interpretations on the modern piano.
