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 4 (Graham's edits, round 5): violin II bar 15 (and its return, bar 47) is D, G, G eighths, G flat quarter, G; violin I bar 31 holds the E through beat 3 over the violin II C sharp, a clean A major resolving to D; violin II bar 32 is one long D (Rameau's little C grace is gone, as is his trill in bar 31, which we never played). The couplet's C sharps are now printed as C sharps, not D flats. Kept from take 3: everything else. Arranged by Claude (Anthropic AI), 2026.
