Suite in G minor
Composer: Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689-1755)
Harpsichord: Byron Schenkman

Music for harpsichord reached in final flowering in France in the 18th century, a time of transition from the absolute rule of Louis XIV to the end of monarchy and to an increasingly influential middle class. Joseph Bodin de Boismortier was one of the first composers to support himself entirely through publishing music, with no reliance on royal or ecclesiastical patronage. (Program notes by Byron Schenkman)
