Biography
His father Pierre Pinel was himself a lutenist, like several other members of the family (especially his younger brother François Pinel) and his three sons Jean-Baptiste, Jean and Séraphin.
Pinel entered the service of Marguerite of Lorraine Duchess of Orléans in 1645. From 1647, he was called to teach the lute to the young Louis XIV, aged 9. He was one of the musicians of the King's Chamber for the lute and theorbo from 1656 on. With wages of up to 2000 livres tournois, he was one of the leading musicians. His succession shows that he had a very comfortable lifestyle.
In 1658, his post passed to his son Séraphin, who, despite his promising debut, no longer appeared as a lutenist after his father's death in 1661. Over 80 works remain, and He is quoted by the master of Mary Burwell, who said of him, after his death, that "his play was gay and melodious, he composed his plays with great ease." Ennemond "Old" Gaultier himself cited him as one of the masters of his time.
This suite is typical of Pinel’s mastery of the Style Brisé. In particular, Pinel was instrumental in the development of the unmeasured prelude, and this extended example is beautifully crafted, in several well - defined tonal sections, and explores the whole range of the lute, creating a unique depth of expression. The Allemande is cast in the mode of the French Tombeau.
