Recording: Balbastre La de Caze

這首小品是之前介紹過的Balbastre1759那一冊大鍵琴曲裡的第一首，叫La de Caze，因為整套作品是獻給當時社會上有頭有臉的de Caze夫人。不是難學的曲子，但要完全彈好對我還是有一點小挑戰啦。還有，這首曲子，Balbastre有特別指名有幾段要彈到上面那一排，是當時法國鍵盤作曲家常見的。

This piece is from Balbastre's first book of harpsichord pieces.  There was a recording of those pieces I reviewed earlier here.  This miniature, if I may call it that, is lively and energetic, with the dotted rhythm.  It's not a hard piece to learn, but hard for me to play it precisely and correctly.  Anyways, Balbastre had clear indications on which manuals to play on for certain passages, not uncommon for man French harpsichord composers of the time.
