Abstract

During the preparation of a new critical edition of Couperin’s keyboard music for Bärenreiter (Book 1, 2016; Book 2, 2018), I examined 72 exemplars of the first book and 52 of the second, listed variously in RISM and in French regional library catalogues. This large number of surviving exemplars is testimony to the exceptionally wide diffusion of these publications and also their remarkable influence, even though Couperin’s music was never taken up by publishers outside France. Careful collation of these exemplars has allowed the identification of no fewer than 16 impressions of Book 1 and 15 impressions of Book 2. The existence of so many variant versions of the two books raises questions about the nature of the corrections made at various times by the composer himself; about the process by which these volumes were assembled prior to sale; and, more broadly, about how the retailing of sheet music was organized.

摘要

在为Bärenreiter准备新的重要版本的Couperin键盘音乐（2016年第1册; 2018年第2册）时，我检查了第一本书的72个范例和第二本书的52个范例，分别在RISM和法国地区图书馆目录中列出。尽管库珀林的音乐从未被法国以外的发行商所接受，但大量幸存的范例证明了这些出版物的广泛传播及其非凡的影响力。仔细核对这些示例后，可以识别出至少1本书的16印象和2本书的15印象。两本书如此多的变体版本的存在引发了人们对本书在不同时间进行更正的性质的质疑。作曲家自己 关于这些卷在出售之前的组装过程；和，
