Mysterious Barricades has a single historical meaning, it was a common idiom of the day. It has nothing to do with barricades, but rather, coy language to refer to women's feminine eyelashes. Maybe there's speculation in English, but French who know their literature aren't confused by its meaning.
In my opinion Louis Couperin was the greater composer. His output was smaller, but the music is more original and expressive. FC is sometimes called the "Chopin of the Baroque" (I don't know why). But the appellation really belongs to LC because of the intensity of his music. With LC I get the impression that the various forms used, Allemande, Chaconne, etc., are almost beside the point, and are just employed as molds into which are poured his highly individual musical thought. Perhaps you could do a video?
What is the main source of this vid? Im asking this cause i cant think of composers having so much research in that time, yk documents getting destroyed by wars and just poor publication
This predates my saving of records of sources, but I didn't read a book on Couperin so my sources were what are usually my _secondary_ sources-that is, doctoral dissertations, masters' theses, and academic journal articles.
It's probably more interesting to do an overall history of ballet within the French tradition (which would include its inclusion within opera by law). I'll add that to the request pool.

Great video! Really well researched.
Love this! Can you possibly do one of Astor Piazzolla?
He's been added to the request queue [ lentovivace.com/requestqueue.html ]
Love this, can you also compare the History of Ballet in Couperin's Music??

You should put spanish subtitles please, I'm from Mexico and I need your video for my homework. Thanks, good video!!
Unfortunately, I do not speak Spanish, but I'm open to others doing subtitles in their native languages if they want to translate!

Baroque
Not to be confused with "Frederic Chopin"...😂
why would somebody confuse him with Chopin, they have different names
You think he’d like Playboi Carti or nah?
