This facsimile sheet music by François André Danican Philidor is part of our French classical music collection.

Edition: 1755.

The solo parts of these quartets may be played on the oboe, flute or violin. This meticulously written work calls for three melodic instruments and a continuo bass, and mingles Italian, German and French styles. A work of quality, it is the only purely instrumental composition by one of the creator of the French opéra-comique.

Preface by the students of the CeFEdeM-Ile-de-France: terminology - phrasing - forms - ornamentation - instrumentation - the figures of the continuo bass.

Four separate instrumental parts.

Collection supervised by the musicologist Jean Saint-Arroman.Facsimile of a copy in the British Library of London (England).
