Les coucous bénévoles [Trinity Grade 3] by François Couperin

This is the last thing I need to prepare for Trinity Grade 3. I've sent off the paperwork and am waiting for the login code at which point I'll record and upload. When I do the recording I might also do an overhead one to YouTube to provide the context on what it is like to play the whole shooting match back to back without error.

The oddly named Les coucous bénévoles is French for "The benevolent cuckoos". This Baroque period piece by François Couperin gave me no end of trouble in getting technically correct. Every grade I've done I've had a problematic piece and for Grade 3 - this was it. It is repetitious and very light on the dynamics but I think it probably came down to the alternating tenuto and staccato articulation which has given me problems before.

I'll be glad to see the tail end of this particular cuckoo.
