Harpsichord works from youth to maturity
Friday, November 18th at 7:30 p.m. at the Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours
The harpsichord, like the organ, kept Bach busy in all the cities where he played. From the frenzied toccatas of his youth to the rigorous contrapuntal constructions of his maturity, via the Italian Concerto and the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, Luc Beauséjour proposes to explore, in order to grasp the variety and evolution of the different styles that marked his art throughout his life.

Capriccio on the departure of his beloved brother, in B flat major, BWV 992 (1704)
