SOBRE A RÁDIO
François Couperin (French: 10 November 1668 – 11 September 1733) was born in Paris. He was taught by his father, Charles Couperin, who died when François was about 10, and by Jacques Thomelin. In 1685 he became the organist at the church of Saint-Gervais, Paris, a post he inherited from his father. In 1693 Couperin succeeded his teacher Thomelin as organist at the Chapelle Royale (Royal Chapel) with the title organiste du Roi, organist by appointment to Louis XIV. Couperin moved to the Rue Radziwill, close to the Académie Royale de Musique, in 1724. He stayed there for the rest of his life. He died in Paris in 1733.
