A prolific composer, he wrote many _stage works, con_certos, chamber music, and organ pieces, _along with _sacred vocal works.  Corrette also organized concerts and published his _own _music and that of _others.  He wrote almost twenty method books for various instruments, which are an important source of _information about __18th _century instrumental techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\n     Corrette published these pieces in __1734.  There are four suites that include the traditional dances (allemande, __gigue, etc.) as well as pieces with evocative _titles in the fashion popular_ized by Fran�ois Couperin, along _with some that _show Italian influence.  Although Corrette is not as well known as some __other French _Baroque composers, the music in this collection is attractive and deserves attention from players today.  It _is generally not difficult, _making it accessi_ble to most keyboardists._\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michel Corrette","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44934888063137,"sku":"9781111115456","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/8jr7en-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748280064","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/first-book-of-pieces-for-harpsichord","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
