Leclair (17031777) was renowned for synthesizing the intricate Italian violin style with the elegance and clarity of French music.This edition, meticulously edited and with a practical keyboard continuo realization byOlivr Nagy, is based on sonatas 3, 5, and 11 from Leclair’s 1728Second Livre de Sonates pour le Violon et pour la Flute traversire.
