Jean-Jacques Beauvarlet Charpentier   Pièces pour orgue Volume 1

Jean-Jacques Beauvarlet-Charpentier : Organ works   Two volumes 10” × 12½” Volume 1 = 60 pages, Euros 44.- Volume 2 = 56 pages, Euros 43.-

Successor of Daquin at Saint-Paul and at Notre-Dame of Paris, J.-J. Beauvarlet known as Charpentier (1734 † 1793) was extremely famous during his time.  His works, written with a personal and original language (especially from the point of view of harmony), show a master illustration of the French post-classical organ style during its first period.  Dom Bedos quotes him among the greatest organists of his time, and the registrations enclosed in his famous treatise match quite exactly those used by Beauvarlet.  With Lasceux, he is undubitably the major organist of his time.  Mozart came to listen to him and did not find bad to borrow him the theme of his Piano Concerto in C (K. 467).
 
One cannot know the French organ of the second half of the XVIIIth century without knowing Beauvarlet’s art, which strongly influenced his successors.
