About this work
Les Sauvages comes from Jean-Philippe Rameau's Nouvelles Suites de pièces de clavecin. The page is classified under piano because the score is written on two staves, but the music is conceived first for the harpsichord: clean attacks, precise ornaments and very little pedal.
The download contains a 2-page PDF devoted to this piece alone. It is neither the complete suite nor a reduction of the Entrée des Sauvages from Les Indes galantes. That distinction matters if you are looking for a staged version or an orchestral score.
Before printing, locate the repeats and check the ornament signs. On a modern piano, keep the bass light and let the dotted rhythms move forward without stiffness. The historical note links this file to the Mutopia project; consult the notices included in the edition before reusing it.
