Menuet de Cupis Varié - Cupis, Jean Baptiste 1711-1788
The 'Menuet de Cupis' or 'Menuet Cupis' is a menuet from the Sonates à Violon seul avec la basse continue, opus 2 (1742) by Jean Baptiste Cupis that was frequently published and copied as a separate piece. This version seems to be mainly for keyboard, though the last page contains a melodic part, given the double stops probably for violin.
Four pages of manuscript, beautifully written.
Bound in with Caix d'Hervelois' 'Pièces pour la flûte-traversière avec la basse continue' (printed)
