Summary of This Score
Excerpt from the RECUEIL DE DOUZE SONATES (1712), this collection highlights trio sonatas (nos. 1 to 7) designed for expressive dialogue between two upper voices and a bass. The upper part is naturally intended for two violins, but the writing also lends itself to performance with flutes or oboes, making it a valuable resource for varying colors and forming mixed ensembles. The viola da gamba bass provides depth and cantabile, while the figured bass invites accompaniment on harpsichord (or harmonic instrument), closely aligned with Baroque performance practices.
These pages are aimed at musicians wishing to approach early 18th-century French music with concrete stylistic references: careful articulation, dynamic management, balance between the two upper voices, and construction of a continuo that supports without weighing down. In rehearsal as well as in concert, these sonatas provide an excellent working ground for ensemble cohesion, rhythmic precision, and ornamentation, while highlighting the elegance of the musical discourse characteristic of the French tradition. Part of the Thierry Mathis Collection, this score naturally fits into a library dedicated to Baroque repertoire and chamber music.
