About

The third of Jean-Marie Leclair’s four books of violin sonatas displays the qualities of exquisite Italianate lyricism and French dance idioms that made the earlier works such a stylistic triumph. However, the composer’s pervasive use of variation form in this book offers a new element, and the technical demands increase through continuous multiple-stopping, intricate figuration and the inclusion of rustic drones. Violinist Adrian Butterfield, who has been described by Gramophone as ‘technically and musically a marvel’ (Naxos 8572866: Violin Sonatas, Book 2, nos. 1–5 and 8), is a leading exponent of Leclair’s music.
