Courant - Courant (English spelling) French

Japanese: クーラント - くーらんと(英語表記)courante フランス語
Courant - Courant (English spelling) French

A dance that originated in the 16th century. Its name comes from the French word courir (to run) and has a light tempo. In the mid-17th century, it became a part of a suite and was divided into two parts: the corrente Italiano and the courante French. The corrente Italiano is in rapid 3/4 or 3/8 time, with a constantly running figure. The courante French is a more refined style than the former, in moderate 3/2 or 6/4 time. It is characterized by frequent time alternations. The difference between the two was clear in Bach's works, but later editors used the name courante for the corrente, causing confusion.

Japanese:

16世紀におこった舞曲。フランス語のcourir(走る)に由来し、軽快なテンポをもつ。17世紀中ごろには組曲を構成する一楽章となり、イタリア風コレンテとフランス風クーラントの二つに分かれた。イタリア風コレンテは急速な3/4または3/8拍子で、絶えず走り回るような音型をもつ。フランス風クーラントは、前者より洗練された様式で、中庸な3/2または6/4拍子。拍子がしばしば互いに入れ替わるのが特徴。両者の違いは、バッハの作品では明確に区別されていたが、後の校訂者がコレンテにクーラントの名称を用いたため混乱をきたした。
