Catalogue Note

Le premier des cinq volumes de Caix d'Hervelois, dont la contribution au répertoire de la musique française pour viole est majeure. Le premier volume est appréciable pour son sens raffiné de la mélodie française et un usage idiomatique des positions de la main gauche (TNG, iv, p.815).

The first of five such volumes by Caix d'Hervelois, which mark an important contribution to the repertory of French viol music. The first volume is notable for its refined sense of French melody and an idiomatic use of left-hand upper positions (TNG, iv, p.815).
