Jean-Philippe Rameau, Zoroastre (1749), Act I sc. 3: Air tendre en rondeau (G minor, Rameau's key), string quartet. Rameau's trio texture (flute, violins I, violins II, no bass) from Federico Kurtz de Grino's typeset (IMSLP 938581) read note by note: Vln I = flute, Vln II = violon 1, viola = violon 2 at pitch, cello = violon 2 an octave down, softly. Rondeau, 1ere reprise, rondeau (48 bars). Rendered with sfizz and Virtual Playing Orchestra solo strings. Take 3 (Graham's edits, round 4): violin I bars 2 and 10 (and returns) are Rameau's long G again; bars 4 and 12 (and returns) are G flat quarter, G quarter, C quarter; violin II bars 6 to 8 are Rameau's again (C slurred to a D tied into bar 7, and the long G flat in bar 8). Kept from take 2: the violin I tie from bar 6 into 7, violin II bars 17 and 18, violin I bar 20. Arranged by Claude (Anthropic AI), 2026.
