Nicolas Lebègue
Nicolas-Antoine Lebègue is a musician French (organist and Clavecin ist) born with Laon in 1631 and died with Paris the July 6th 1702.
The youth and the formation of Lebègue (related with the painters the Dwarf) are badly known. It is established in Paris towards 1656, and is named titular organist of the Saint-Merry church in 1664, station which it occupies until his death. Its fame is large, as an interpreter, type-setter and professor (it has as pupils in particular Geoffroy, Grigny, of Agincourt, probably Julien and others). It is named in 1678 one of the 4 organists of the Royal Chapelle, with Nivers, Buterne and Thomelin.
With the Organ (instrument with which it is very attentive with the Registration) as with the Clavecin, Lebègue integrates the innovations of style, inaugurates or develops and organizes the musical forms. It inaugurates thus, with Nivers, the kind of the Suite for organ.
For the harpsichord, it is the first to use the term of “continuation” and to include Prélude S not measured in printed collections, while endeavouring to explain the manner of playing them.
