This Treatise on Harpsichord Tuning (1643-50) was the first French
document to discuss keyboard performance practice in any detail.
Jean Denis was both a harpsichord builder of renown and the
organist of a prominent Parisian church, and is thus an authority
worthy of careful study. The treatise addresses numerous matters of
interest to both scholars and performers, including temperament,
ornamentation, fugue, and the use of the organ in liturgical
practice. Also included in the treatise are a keyboard prelude
designed to reveal errors in tuning, and two delightful anecdotes
attesting to the power of music. The forthright character of
Denis's writing lends a unique and distinctly enjoyable tone to the
work."
