Maurice RAVEL: Forlane (III. Le Tombeau de Couperin) transcribed for organ by Eugenio Maria FAGIANI The music genre of the Tombeau (literally, "monument", thus a music tribute to memory) recalls the tradition of the late French baroque, peculiar to Jean-Philippe Rameau and, of course, Fran�ois Couperin. Composed during the First World War, this collection is a music homage to the French Golden age for the harpsichord. La Forlane, the Rigaudon and the closing Toccata are the most characteristic pages of this six movements suite. Particularly, the Forlane is a transformed trascription done by Ravel himself, and this is confirmed also by the choice of the title of the entire composition, the Forlane of the Fourth Concert Royale by Fran�ois Couperin (as Ravel stated in a letter to Cipa Godebski in april 1914).
