Rameau’s Nephew - Le Neveu de Rameau

 | 
Denis Diderot

List of Musical Pieces

Texte intégral

1The music mentioned by Diderot in Rameau’s Nephew is French and Italian, although Diderot was also well aware of the work of other foreign composers, such as C.P.E. Bach. The pieces specially performed and recorded for this multi-media edition were chosen to provide samples of music or composers that are less well known today, or to give examples of transcription, one of the principal ways that pieces came to be known and played in a private setting at the time.
