As a generalisation I think of the French style courante and Italian style corrente as very different. The courante as elusive, difficult, tuneless! and the corrente as lively and having more clarity. Sent from my Huawei phone

Are you able to get back to your house now? I think there are various sub-stylesà of courantes and even a couple of instances where the same piece is called a courant in one source and a volte in another, but I can't remember where I saw that. Maybe what I might think of as a sub-style is just the difference between a Vallet stepwise variation and a Ballard brisee variation.
