Jean-Philippe Rameau, Castor et Pollux (1737), Act I sc. 3: Telaire's air Tristes apprets, pales flambeaux, in E-flat (Rameau's key), string quartet. Take 3 (alternative): the voice on the viola, solo. Rebuilt from Rameau's own orchestral score (Durand Oeuvres completes vol. VIII, 1903, IMSLP 25907, pp. 73-76), read staff by staff, so every note is Rameau's: the viola sings Telaire's line; Vln I plays the violins' held line under her; Vln II plays the bassoons' rest-up-up-up figure where it fits the violin; in the ritornello as take 2; the cello plays the basse continue as written. Take 1 came from a voice-and-piano reduction and had invented inner notes. Form as the edition: ritournelle, the air to Fin, the second part, da capo to Fin (80 bars). Tres lent, quarter = 42. Arranged by Claude (Anthropic AI), 2026.
