Post by LRBCan anyone recommend an edition of the Dieupart 6 Suites (without the
voice flute parts transposed for alto recorder)?
There are basically two choices for the complete set:
Six suites pour clavecin. publiées par Paul Brunold, révision par
Kenneth Gilbert "Avec le fac-similé des parties originales du XVIIIe
siècle pour violon ou flûte et basse chiffrée (viole ou archiluth)."
Les Remparts, Monaco: Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre, 1979
and
6 Suiten für Cembalo. Münster: Mieroprint, 1999. Facsimile reprint.
Originally published: Amsterdam : E. Roger, 1711? Pref. by Winfried
Michel in German.
There is also the long-out-of-print vol. 1 of the "complete works",
published by Éditions de l'Oiseau lyre in 1934, which you may be able
to consult in a library.
If you are looking for an edition with an editorial realization of the
basse chiffré, however, you will be restricted to the last three
suites, which are available in separate editions:
Suite no IV en mi mineur: pour flûte à bec (ou violon) et basse
continue. Restitution de Jean-Claude Veilhan; réalisation de la basse,
Danièle Salzer. Paris: A. Leduc,1974.
Suite V in F-dur für Querflöte oder Sopranblockflöte oder Violine
und Basso continuo. Edited by Hugo Ruf. Zürich, Musikverlag zum
Pelikan, [c1970]
Suite VI in F-moll für Querflöte oder Sopranblockflöte oder Violine
und Basso continuo. Edited by Hugo Ruf. Zürich, Musikverlag zum
Pelikan, [c1970]
There are no other choices that I am aware of but, FWIW, the Veilhan
edition of no. 4 is examplary (and includes a complete facsimile,
though reduced in size, of the original 1711 edition), whereas the two
Ruf editions are less than stellar. Note that suites 5 and 6 are not
for voice flute, but rather for "flûte à quatre"--that is, a recorder
in B-flat, most likely higher than the normal alto, though it has been
argued it was a B-flat tenor.
