Program IV explores the influences of French composers for harpsichord. They loved to feature the different colors possible in the low or high ranges of the instruments and the range of sounds possible using two keyboards in a variety of expressive, colorful, and fun combinations. 

Works by Jacques Chambonnières, François Couperin and Jean Philippe Rameau
