Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer, through his Ariadne musica, already foreshadowed the idea behind The Well-Tempered Clavier: exploring all tonalities through preludes and fugues. From Johann Jakob Froberger, Bach inherited a cosmopolitan vision of the dance suite, blending German rigor, Italian suppleness, and French elegance. As for the Venetian Benedetto Marcello, his fusion of musical rhetoric and sacred textâparticularly in his psalmsâresonated with Bachâs own spiritual calling. Though never their direct pupil, Bach transformed these legacies into a unique language where Lutheran depth, contrapuntal mastery, and European openness converge. By selecting five harpsichords to introduce these masters of the Baroque keyboard, Luc BeausĂ©jour offers a complete aesthetic experienceâpairing each instrument with a composer and, above all, revealing the artistâs own refinement and authenticity on his journey. BUY YOUR TICKETS Anecdote: Walking from Montreal to Tadoussac to hear your favorite artist? Thatâs about the same distance (over 400 kilometers) that Johann Sebastian Bach walked from Arnstadt to LĂŒbeck in 1705 to listen to and study with Dietrich Buxtehude. The visit was supposed to last thirty daysâbut he stayed away for four months. History doesnât record the condition of his shoes upon arrival. Fun fact: In 1759, the first electric harpsichord lit up the stage! In 1759, Jean-Baptiste Delaborde invented the electric harpsichordâa keyboard that made metal bells vibrate using static electricity. In the dark, the instrument also produced visible sparks, turning the concert into both a sound and light show. A surviving example is preserved at the BibliothĂšque nationale de France. Our musical selection for Luc BeausĂ©jour. Discover our Artistic Director’s playlist on Qobuz. In Canada, only a handful of harpsichord makers remain (fewer than five). Montreal is fortunate to host the BeauprĂ© workshop, which has been crafting harpsichords for over 30 years! And donât ask a facteur de clavecin how long it will take to finish the next instrumentâhe wonât know. A true artisan never counts the hours! Free admission, no reservation required.
