Much like the Bach family, the Couperin family was a renowned musical dynasty, but François was to be the greatest among them, and is accordingly often given the moniker 'le Grand'. Working for much of his life in the royal court, Couperin's harpsichord works are contained in four books, divided into a sequence (or 'ordre') of 27 suites. La Milordine is an energetic gigue with a title that suggests a dedication to an unknown foreign nobleman.
