"With the publication of the first book of sonatas for violin and basso continuo, the present edition completes the series of four books that Jean-Marie Leclair composed. Opus 1 was originally published in 1723 and was reissued sometime between 1743 and 1749. This critical edition takes the original print as its primary source but includes readings-suitably marked or reported-from the reissue. The sonatas of the first book are more conservative both in harmony and violin technique than are those of later books. Still, these are challenging works that provide a fine introduction to those that would be composed later, works that combined the best of French and Italian influences and set Leclair apart from his contemporaries."--Provided by publisher.
