L'Apothéose de Corelli and Les Nations are major holes in the collection.
The old Oiseau-Lyre complete works edition isn't PD, is it?

Find me a few accession numbers in WorldCat so I can look into it.

Why do you need an accession number?
http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk_en.html includes the option to search worldcat, or you can open worldcat directly in the link provided: http://www.worldcat.org/

How does worldcat access differ for you from this freely available service?
- I noticed that some libraries holdings are hidden (e.g Sibley), but unique holdings show as a worldcat entry with a notice "no library holding this item could be identified. Obviously, in the registered version these should show correctly?
But how these restrictions are applied is completely unclear - an inquiry with worldcat never received an answer.

FYI that accession number is for one library...in Australia. The more "general" one is 14716099. And the reason I asked was to see 1.) which edition was requested and 2.) if I could get my hands on it.

Good for a few of our admins

Hi !

Although it's not one the mentionned pieces, I have a PDF copy of L'Art de toucher le clavecin. Here's the edition of the work :

Is this edition public domain ? I don't know.

I found one guy on the Scribd website who has scanned and uploaded what seems to be the entirety of the original (i.e. unrevised) Oiseau-Lyre Complete Couperin set. I'm not sure how else to link them, so I'll place links to the whole lot here:

I Oeuvres Didactiques
II Pieces de Clavecin: Premier, Second, Troisieme, Quatrieme Livre.
III Pieces d'Orgue
IV Musique de Chambre: Concerts Royaux, Les Gouts Reunis, Les Nations, Les Apothéoses etc.
V Musique Vocale: Musique vocale profane & motets, Leçons de Ténèbres etc.

A lot of the chamber music (with the exception of Les nations and the Pieces de Violes) is already up on IMSLP in facsimile - without the rather annoying bc realisation cluttering up the score. But that's just a personal preference, I guess. =]
