International Music Score Library Project [IMSLP] entry: Jacques Duphly

Jacques Duphly (or Du Phly) [1715-89] was a French harpsichordist and composer. He died the day after the storming of the Bastille at the start of the French revolution.

	Contrary to possible supposition, La Victoire is not a generic reference to Victory but is the royal princess La Victoire de France, daughter of Louis XV. She is the dedicatee of book 2 of Duphly's Pieces de Clavecin, published in 1748, of which this is the first piece. She survived the Revolution by escaping to Italy. This piece is marked Vif, and consists of two repeated sections; the repeats don't seem to add much, as the first time round is already heavily ornamented, so I have ignored them. Sequenced mostly in 1996 from a library copy. I have used a 4' stop and a buff stop to give variety.
