Rameau transcribed on the clarinet! A surprising choice, perhaps, but interesting in many ways. If Johann Christoph Denner's clarinet, which appeared around 1690, is a very young instrument “prototype” for composers of the Baroque period, it is Jean-Philippe Rameau who introduces this instrument to the orchestra in his fourth tragedy. lyric Zoroastre in 1749.
When the idea occurred to me to look towards this repertoire, perhaps unknown to clarinetists, Rameau's pieces immediately struck me as interesting and conducive to transcription.
These 10 studies after Jean-Philippe Rameau from collections of harpsichord pieces from 1724 and 1726/1727, have a primarily educational objective; they will allow an apprenticeship of the style of Rameau in particular and of French baroque music in general, in particular by a specific work on the ornamentation and the articulation of this time through pieces of character.
The metronomic indications, the dotted joints as well as the ossia in La Villeroy are suggestions, knowing that for this music, a certain freedom is left to the performer. The nuances are also the choice of the musician since they are adaptations of harpsichord pieces.
