Charles-Alexandre Jollage (ca. 1700-1761) was a French harpsichordist and composer who is best known for his Premier Livre de Pièces de Clavecin (First Book of Harpsichord Pieces), published in 1738. This collection contains 17 works for harpsichord, including preludes, allemandes, courantes, sarabandes, and gavottes.

Jollage's Premier Livre de Pièces de Clavecin showcases his elegant and refined style, which was characteristic of the French classical tradition of the mid-18th century. His compositions are characterized by their clear and balanced structure, delicate ornamentation, and refined use of harmony.

Jollage's Premier Livre de Pièces de Clavecin was well-received by critics and performers alike, and it quickly became a popular choice for harpsichordists in France and beyond. The collection was influential in shaping the development of the harpsichord repertoire in the mid-18th century and helped to establish the French classical style as a dominant force in European music.

Played by Fernando De Luca, one of Italy’s foremost harpsichord players, who recorded to great critical acclaim the complete keyboard works by Graupner (BC96131) and Moyreau (BC96285), published by Brilliant Classics.
