Sheet music facsimile Devienne François Six duos concertants for flute and viola

This facsimile sheet music by François Devienne is part of our French classical music collection.

Edition: Paris, Le Duc, 1784.

Preface by the students of the CeFEdeM-Ile-de-France (Laurence Baldini, Audrey Jacques): the importance of phrasing at the turn of the XVIIIth-XIXth centuries.

Two separate instrumental parts: flute, viola.

These duos are written for a very rare combination of instruments. They are works of quality in which the viola has a genuine concertante part. The preface deals with phrasing at the turn of the nineteenth century, an essential element of performance at that period.

Collection supervised by the musicologist Jean Saint-Arroman.
