Reviews

'Highly recommended.' Choice Reviews 'It is good that this readable and helpful book has been expanded and updated for another generation of readers.' Early Music Review '... this is a generally pleasing enlargement of a text which I would recommend to anyone seeking a way into Couperin's elusive but endlessly fascinating world.' Early Music 'A welcome update of the author's 1982 survey of Couperin's work published in the BBC Music Guides series, the book amplifies the original text with new background information, and a wider range of music is discussed. Tunley's lively summaries of Couperin research in the intervening decades open for the average reader a window onto issues of primary source study... the most accessible of the monographs on Couperin currently available.' Music and Letters
