Achtergrond	During nearly two centuries the Couperins were a musical dynasty of composers, performers, and teachers in and around Paris. Their name is especially linked to the church of St-Gervais, where the post of organist was held by a member of the Couperin family for 173 years. The earliest mention of the name Couperin is from 1366, but the first musician of the family was apparently Mathurin Couperin (c.1569–c.1640) The first members of the family to gain musical prominence were three brothers, Louis (1626–61), François (1631–1701), and Charles (1638–79). But the most renowned of the Couperin dynasty of 17th- and 18th-century musicians is François Couperin (1668-1733), also known as Couperin le Grand (“the Great”). He was the nephew of Louis Couperin.
