Couperin - 12th Concert

"Although it is possible to add an accompaniment by a harpsichord or a theorbo to this concert


it will always be better for two viols or two similar instruments, without any more."
Couperin added, however, figured bass numbers, even at the bars 31-34, with its remark "viols
only". Some of the figured bass notes are possibly meant to be played by the viol.
Couperin abstained from a figured bass in the other parts of this 12th concert from "Les gots
runies", and in the 13th concert, which are also for two viols. That's why I tried to realise the
basso continuo part, but because Couperin was evidently right, I removed it. In the second part
of the 10-th concerto, "Plainte, pour les violes L'unisson" he applied bass notes only to the
lower viol part, "without accords".
The piece has been notated in beamed white notes throughout, except the grace notes. All quarter
notes (or crotchets) should be played "ingale", as indicated by Couperin.
The original piece is in A Major and the original clefs are represented here, C3
in the upper staff, and F4 alternating C3 in bars 8 last note -12 second note. I add a version with
transposed G-clef.
Bar 7 2nd beat of the upper part: the print has half the note value, its open note is erroneously
beamed; I corrected it. The first note has been represented as a dot (behind the last note of bar 6)
in the print, as usual.
I added a untransposed version with normalised clefs after this score.

Quoy quon puisse joindre un accompagnement de Clavecin,


ou de Teorbe ce Concert; il sera toujours mieux a 2
violes, ou deux jnstrumens semblables; sans rien de plus.
