Quatrieme livre de sonates à violon seul avec la basse continue op. 9 - Leclair, Jean-Marie 1697-1764; Leclair-Roussel, Louise Mme (Paris Leclair Boivin Le Clerc, 1743)
Engraved by "Madame Leclair" born Louise Roussel, whom Leclair married in 1730 after she had helped him prepare the printing of this Opus 2 at the time of his first wife's death, the dancer Marie-Rose Casthanie, in 1728.
Most of the sonates are printed in score; however, some movements with several variations to the same bass have been printed as parts, to save space.
Sonata 6 contains specific information on virtuoso violin techniques; Sonata 7 can also been played on the "Flute Allemande"
Green leather binding
