Summary:

"The solo works for viole de gambe by Marais occupy, in French instrumental music of the late Baroque era, a position comparable with those for clavecin by François Couperin, his younger contemporary and colleague at the French court. This selection of suites offers, for the first time in a modern scholarly edition, some of the more attractive items from this large body of music." -- Provided by publisher.
