RISM D1046 (copies in the U.S. at the Library of Congress and the University of California, Berkeley). "Louis-Claude [Daquin] was an infant prodigy. After taking some harpsichord lessons from his godmother Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, and composition lessons from Nicolas Bernier, he was capable of playing before Louis XIV at the age of six and of conducting his own Beatus vir in the Sainte-Chapelle at the age of eight. ... Daquin was the best virtuoso improviser of his generation, and his published works give only a faint idea of his art. His most elaborate work is the Livre de pièces de clavecin (printed twice, in January 1735 and in 1739). Although some of the pieces (such as L'hirondelle) are more or less direct imitations of François Couperin, most of them display great originality: the Trois cadances, in almost perfect sonata form, owes its title to the triple trill which Daquin was the first in France to use, and Le coucoû is an example of his taste for the single melodic unit which he repeats throughout the piece instead of developing its thematic possibilities. Except for the gavotte in the Plaisirs de la chasse, Daquin's pieces hardly seem to have been influenced at all by Rameau's."
