Marais /// Paola Erdas, clavecin Louis Denis, 1658 A small, oblong-shaped volume in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France under the heading ' Fonds du Conservatoire Rés. 89ter ' : this manuscript contains pieces by various composers including d ' Anglebert, Chambonnières, Louis Couperin, Lully, Marais, Pinel, Ennemond and Denis Gaultier, Mézangeau and Richard. It was back in the 1970s that this precious manuscript was attributed with near-certainty to Jean-Henry d ' Anglebert, thus rightly becoming one of the most representative sources of 17th-century music. This is a unicum, in that other autograph manuscripts for keyboard instruments by French composers of the 17th century are lacking, the only autograph sources from that period being those of Tomkins, Froberger and Poglietti.
