Second Livre de Clavecin (1687)

Nicolas Lebègue Edited and Typeset by Steve Wiberg Due West Editions 2010 Based on a facsimile of the First Printing

Editor’s Notes This edition of the Second Livre de Clavecin by Nicolas Lebègue has been prepared using the facsimile edition of the first printing, published by Fuzeau, as the primary source. The key signatures in this edition are those present in the first printing, even though they do not always reflect modern notation practice. (For example, in the first printing, the Suite in A Major has a key signature containing only F# and C#, where today we would also indicate a G# in the key signature.) However, I have modernized the key indicated in the title of each suite. In the first edition, Lebègue indicates the key in the title of each suite as follows:

Current Edition Suite in D minor Suite in G Minor Suite in A Minor Suite in A Major Suite in F Major Suite in G Major

First Printing Suitte en d la ré Suitte en g ré sol b Suitte en A mi la ré Suitte en a mi la ré # Suitte en F Ut fa Suitte en G ré sol #

While the quality of the facsimile is excellent, there are places in the first edition where the notation of rhythm is somewhat ambiguous. Frequently, the lower staff of the final bar of a piece is not notated carefully, especially in the Allemandes and Courantes. In such cases, I have altered the notation, without comment, to provide one possible interpretation. Although I have made every effort to provide as accurate of an edition as possible, I must emphasize that this is not a scholarly edition. Serious performers and students of this music are strongly encouraged to obtain a copy of the facsimile edition. Should this edition undergo further revision in the future, the latest version will always be made available at the IMSLP/Petrucci Music Library, http://imslp.org
