Catalogue Note
Ces séduisantes sonates de Denis Martin, compositeur et violoniste français quelque peu obscur, sont écrites dans l'idiome franco-italien que l'on retrouve dans les sonates de Senaillé et de Leclair (TNG). Cinq exemplaires seulement sont recensés dans le RISM, aucun à la British Library. Le violoniste et compositeur Jean-Baptiste Cartier (1765-1841), propriétaire de cet exemplaire, fut directeur assistant de l'Opéra de Paris de 1791 à 1821. Il fut également l'auteur du célèbre traité L'art du violon (Paris, 1798).
