Jean-Philippe Rameau, Les Boreades (1763), Act I: Premiere et Deuxieme Contredanse en rondeau (C minor / C major, Rameau's keys), string quartet. The two contredanses as the Currentzis / MusicAeterna album plays them: I (C minor rondeau, R C1 R C2 R), II 'Majeur' (C major rondeau), then I again. From Saverio Lomartire's keyboard transcription (IMSLP 342367) read note by note: Vln I = dessus, Vln II doubles it an octave down where it stays above the violin's G, viola = the inner voice, cello = the bass. Arranged by Claude (Anthropic AI), 2026.
