Tambourin in E minor
Piano solo
In brief

Rameau's Tambourin in E minor conveys a joyful and dynamic atmosphere, typical of baroque dance. The student will need to pay special attention to the rhythmic nuances and the handling of rapid passages, which can present technical challenges. A composer of the 18th century, Rameau is known for his key role in the evolution of French music and dedicated much of his work to the development of keyboard pieces and orchestral music, laying the foundations for baroque musical language.
