Jean-Philippe Rameau - 4 Ouvertures: Pygmalion, Les Fêtes, Les Surprises & Acante et Céphise

Jean-Philippe Rameau (25 September 1683 - 12 September 1764) was one of the most important French composers and music theorists of the 18th century. He replaced Jean-Baptiste Lully as the dominant composer of French opera and is also considered the leading French composer for the harpsichord of his time, alongside François Couperin.

clarinets! amazing

[@valerietaylor9615]

I think this was the only time Rameau used clarinets. They were pretty new at that time.
