Both manuscripts in the same hand. Rameau's highly important first work on music theory, the Traité summarizes the author's efforts to transform the consideration of music from art to science. It was first published in Paris by Jean-Baptiste-Christophe Ballard in 1722, and earned its author a reputation as the most learned musician of his era. The work is divided into four parts: I. Du rapport des raisons et proportions harmoniquesII. De la nature et de la propriété des accordsIII. Principes de composition IV. Principes d'accompagnementUnusual, and seemingly worthy of further research.
