Sonata e-Moll [Sonata in E minor] op. 9, No. 2

Leclair, JM

Schott's edition of Jean-Marie Leclair's 'Sonate e-Moll [Sonata in E minor] op. 9, No. 2 for flute and basso continuo includes an optional part for cello, or other basso instrument, as well as a fully realized part for piano accompaniment. This sonata is categorized as intermediate in difficulty.

'Jean-Marie Leclair is probably best known as a prominent figure in the French style of violin playing. He developed standard violin technique through the use of an early form of vibrato, double trills and catalogued articulations. The majority of his compositional output was for the violin, but eight of his 48 violin sonatas were written with performance on the flute as an alternate.'
