Noblet, Charles: Three Sonatas

for Violin and Harpsichord

These sonatas are in the tradition of Mondonville’s Op. 3 of 1734, which means that the violin becomes an almost equal and unquestionably indispensable partner to the keyboard instrument. These attractive pieces are rich and varied in content with many original touches. They mix French and Italian stylistic elements felicitously and are suited to performance in many settings, including the concert hall.
