Les Barricades Mystérieuses was published in 1717 as the fifth piece in Couperin’s sixth Ordre of harpsichord pieces, in B flat major, and is written in the arpeggiated style brisé, or style luthé, of a lute piece. Schott describes it as a rondo with three episodes between which the constantly recurring refrain alternates, in which, instead of a melody, one hears powerful, continuously broken, syncopated harmonies. Broken chords in place of a tune suggest a piece that asks the listener to follow harmony and rhythm, not a singable line. François Couperin was born in Paris on 10 November 1668 into a musical family, and his father Charles was the organist at St Gervais. In seventeenth-century France a professional position could be handed down from father to next of kin like property, so when Louis Couperin died at 35 his brother Charles inherited the role of organist at Saint-Gervais. A family where a post passed from one brother to another suggests that music was a household inheritance as well as a profession. Couperin was 25 when Louis XIV chose him as organist of the Chapelle du Roi at Versailles, and within a year he was appointed teacher and master of harpsichord playing to the royal children. The title Couperin le Grand distinguished him from other members of his family, yet even in this exalted position he often paid tribute to the work of his ancestors. A court appointment that did not stop him thanking his ancestors hints at a musician mindful of the line he came from. Classical Music magazine says Couperin aimed for a bilingual musical idiom, melding his native French style with the fashionable Italian, and in his Apothéose de Lully of 1725, Apollo persuades Corelli and Lully that the union of French and Italian styles will result in the perfection of music. Unlike other collections by the great French Baroque harpsichordists, whose pièces are dance-based, Couperin wrote over 200 character pieces, grouped by key and mood into ordres, which evoke people, places and the everyday. Concerned that his pieces might not be properly performed, he published L’art de toucher le clavecin (1716) to explain fingering, ornaments and notes inégales, with eight preludes. A composer who published L’art de toucher le clavecin to explain his fingering and ornaments can be read as one who wanted his pieces played as he imagined them, down to the smallest detail of touch.
