General-Bass is a certain characteristic system of writing and playing an accompaniment in the 17th and 18 century for keyboard and harmonic instruments used in chamber or orchestra music.
General-Bass evolved during those two centuries. First theoretical references of general-bass technique are dated around 1600. It was a renaissance motet technique die away and improvisation and polyphony baroque technique born time. Lodovico Viadanas treatise Cento concerti ecclesiastici from 1602 is a first written documented instruction of this technique.
Centre of general-basses development expanded from Italy to Germany and France. There was a separate specific evolve and theoretical treatises of general-bass in each country. Despite of the separation there was a influence and inspiration between of the particular country stiles of general-basses praxes.
The main representative are Francesco Gasparini, Georg Muffat and Francesco Geminiani in Italy Jean-Henri d´Anglebert, François Dandrieu, Michel de St. Lambert in France and Johann Mattheson, Johann David Heinichen and Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany.
Currently we are experiencing return of studies of historical general-basses treatises and arises modern textbooks of general-bass. There are two Czech translations of Jespera Bøje Christensens and Barbara Marie Willis textbooks available. Both authors based their textbooks on historical pedagogical systems and rules.

My bachelor thesis called The music tradition of the Couperin Dynasty (from the point of view of the harpsichord literature interpretation) deals with the whole Couperin dynasty of musicians, which had almost two-hundred-year tradition.
In the first chapter I have introduced to the reader the historic context of the times, when the Couperins lived and worked.
At the beginning of the second chapter, I point out how the music traditions of XVII. and XVIII. centuries spread in Europe. Further on, the entire second chapter is devoted to the Couperin dynasty from their origin to their exercise at the court and in the centre of events ? at the most prestigious places in Paris. I deal more in detail with all the male and female musicians of the dynasty, their lives and, if preserved, all their work.
The third chapter focuses on three most outstanding representatives of the Couperins - Louis, François le Grand and Armand-Louis. Their distinct styles show music development, changes in music thinking and various use of the instrument in the high period of the harpsichord to its decline and until the end of the harpsichord age. Above all, I try to emphasise their individual contributions to the harpsichord works and music.
In the last chapter, there is a chronological succession of the Couperin organists in one of the most important places in Paris ? at the organist position at Saint Gervais church.
