Published in 1734, Leclair's op. 5 sonatas were dedicated to Louis XV. This is the first modern edition of this set of sonatas, interesting for their use of bimodality and their level of technical difficulty.
The sonatas "are beautifully written. . . . There is not a weak number in the set. . . . Violinists who ignore this very practical edition will be missing something. It is to be hoped that they will spend some time reading the editor's useful advice on interpretation." J. A. Westrup, Music & Letters, July 1970.
