300 years ago lads
Albinoni's 12 Concerti a cinque, Op. 9, is published in Amsterdam; Johann Sebastian Bach completes the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier, containing 24 pairs of preludes and fugues in all major and minor keys; Couperin publishes his Concerts royaux, four works for harpsichord or (unspecified) instrumental ensemble. He also brings out the third volume of his Pieces de clavecin. Jean-Philippe Rameau publishes his 450-page Traite de l'harmonie (Treatise on Harmony), in which he discusses chord inversions, key-centres and other aspects of tonality. It is soon recognised as a seminal publication on modem harmonic theory.
