Zur
Entdeckung von Franois Couperins Triosonate La
Convalescente
A manuscript entitled La
Convalescente. Sonnade. Del S. Couprin
was discovered at the Schsische Landes- und Universittsbibliothek (Dresden)
in 2005. The source contains the six opening movements of Franois CouperinÕs
trio sonata LÕImpriale, which the composer published in 1726 as part of his
cycle Les
Nations. The essay revolves around a
textological analysis of the manuscript, which was copied by the violinist
Johann Georg Pisendel during a trip to Paris in 1714, when he accompanied
Prince Friedrich August there for celebrations on the occasion of the Treaty of
Baden. The resulting, short-lived Catholic Alliance between the Habsburg
Monarchy and France explains why Couperin chose the title LÕImpriale
for the revised version of the
sonata. Also discussed are new perspectives, made possible by the dated
manuscript, that allow a reappraisal of CouperinÕs stylistic evolution.
