Description: | Jean Rondeau aspires to Parnassus, the mythological mountain home of the Muses, as he explores the possibilities of the harpsichord in music written over a period of more than 400 years â?? much of it for the piano.
He pays tribute to the Austrian composer Johann Joseph Fux, who in 1725 published the original Gradus ad Parnassum, an influential treatise on counterpoint, and to Muzio Clementi, whose similarly titled collection of piano studies came a century later. The theme continues with Debussyâ??s Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, an affectionate parody of Clementi from the Childrenâ??s Corner suite. The albumâ??s scope extends to the Renaissance (Palestrina) and to works conceived for the piano by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
As Jean Rondeau has explained: â??I donâ??t like to limit myself to a single repertoire or period in the history of music. On the other hand, it is a great challenge!â? Meanwhile, Gramophone magazine has observed Rondeauâ??s â??affinity for [the harpsichord] and a comfort in its presence that allow him to see its possibilities rather than its limitationsâ?. - ? &© 2023 Parlophone Records Limited.
