Jacques Duphly
[ Life | Works | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
| Jacques Duphly belongs to the French harpsichordist tradition. Born in Rouen, where he was employed as an organist, he moved to Paris in 1742 and there won a reputation as a teacher, one of the best, according to the famous harpsichord-maker Pascal Taskin, and as a performer.
|
| The harpsichord music of Duphly owes much to the example of Rameau.The greater part of it was published in his life-time in four collections, the third of which includes a possible violin accompaniment.
