Summary of This Score
This edition brings together two major sonatas by Jean-Marie Leclair the Elder (1697-1764), a central figure of the French violin school, whose writing combines French elegance, virtuosity, and Italian heritage. The works offered (op. 9, Book IV: No. 3 in D major and No. 5 in A minor) provide ideal material for working on the Baroque style: articulation, dance, phrasing, ornamentation, and balance between cantabile and more brilliant passages. Frederick F. Polnauer's editorial work relies on a primary source (Paris, 1738) to preserve the original reading and musical content. The keyboard part in this publication faithfully reproduces the violin line and basso continuo, making it a particularly relevant resource for violinists and accompanists wishing to approach Leclair with a solid foundation close to the sources.
