Presentation by Maëlle Trouvé : Biography of Jean-Baptiste-Joseph Masse - hints about the score (notation, ornementation, phrasing, terminology, continuo, form).

These works, called sonatas "for two cellos" are in fact written for cello and continuo bass.

The advantage of this collection of very attractive sonatas is that they are technically quite easy, and therefore make an interesting introduction to the style of the period.

Collection supervised by the musicologist Jean Saint-Arroman.
