Abstract

Published in 1734, Leclair's opus 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. Leclair's opus 9 sonatas are some of Leclair's most technically advanced works for violin and continuo.
