Something wrong?The surname alone carried weight in French Baroque circles, so they called him "le Grand" to single him out from the rest of the musical Couperins - a family so stacked with talent that one needed a nickname to stand clear.

François Couperin was born 10 November 1668 into a family where music was the trade and the legacy. He built his reputation at the harpsichord and organ, composing through the high Baroque in France until his death on 11 September 1733. The epithet "Couperin the Great" wasn't flattery - it was necessity, the only way to tell him apart from the relatives who shared his last name and his craft.
