COUPERIN, François

Concert royal no. 1 for violin, flute, oboe, viol and bassoon in G major (version for oboe and basso continuo)

III. Sarabande. Mesuré

Ramón Ortega Quero, professor

Manuela Candela Muñoz, oboe

Candela Pérez González, bassoon

Alina Artemyeva, harpsichord

When the key change occurs, there should be a stronger contrast — a clearer sense that something different is happening — and the sound itself should also change, playing with intensity and brightness.
At the beginning of the Sarabande, the playing shouldn’t be too introverted. Ortega suggests giving it more space and openness, in line with the character of the previous movements.
He also offers additional comments based on the harmonic structure of the piece, focusing mainly on articulation. Finally, he emphasizes that the ending should sound more conclusive.
