Jean-Philippe Rameau's 'L'indiscrète' is a solo harpsichord piece that was composed in the early 18th century. The exact date of composition is not known, but it is believed to have been written around 1728. The piece was first performed publicly in Paris in 1731. 'L'indiscrète' is a suite of six movements, each with its own unique character and style. The first movement, titled 'La Livri', is a lively and energetic piece that sets the tone for the rest of the suite. The second movement, 'La Timide', is a slower and more introspective piece that features a delicate melody and intricate ornamentation. The third movement, 'La Poplinière', is a playful and whimsical piece that features a lively dance rhythm and a catchy melody. The fourth movement, 'La Rameau', is a more serious and contemplative piece that features a slow and mournful melody. The fifth movement, 'La Boiteuse', is a lively and energetic piece that features a fast and complex rhythm and a virtuosic harpsichord solo. The final movement, 'Les Triolets', is a lively and playful piece that features a fast and intricate rhythm and a catchy melody. Overall, 'L'indiscrète' is a masterful example of Rameau's skill as a composer and his ability to create complex and engaging music for the harpsichord. The suite showcases a wide range of styles and moods, from playful and whimsical to serious and contemplative, and demonstrates Rameau's mastery of the harpsichord as an instrument.
