Re-cataloguing the works of CHAMBONNIÈRES
Thursday 5 November 2009
Recently we discovered A Thematic Catalogue -- The Complete Works of Jacques Champion de Chambonnières (1601/02-1672) by Bruce Gustafson, a thematic catalogue in digital form.
As a consequence we added the ‘G-number’ to all of the more than 140 harpsichord compositions of this French composer in our catalogue. The first 60 of them were published in 1670 in two livres de pièces de clavessin (see picture). Because Gustafson provided each of these pieces with its own number we consider them to be sixty seperate compositions in stead of two.
The result of this re-cataloguing is shown here.
