The first collection of Rameau's harpsichord works was published in 1706, while the author was in Paris. "The first book" of the young, twenty-three-year-old Rameau is also his first published works, by which we can judge the composer's creative talent, about his connections with contemporary French musicians.

This magnificent collection in A minor - A major is built in the form of a traditional dance suite, consists of nine or ten movements (the fifth and sixth are doubled).

After Rameau's death, "The First Book" was forgotten for many years, and in the 19th century even officially questioned its existence, until, finally, in 1895, the publication of the Complete Collected Works of Jean-Philippe Rameau under the direction of Camille Saint-Saens began.
