Montéclair, "suitte à 2 violons", is a typical French suite.
Music full of grace and delicacy.To remark that in those dances, just like for the jazz, one must play unevenly (ternary) the divisions of the beats.
The overture (originally the Kings entry) has to be played with majesty.
a group of 2 minuets (the first been repeated afterwith)
2 airs
2 other minuets (the menuet is always a fast dance: there is one step per bar, and it goes fast)
a Loure (sorte of a sarabanda)
and a fugue
Barock violins : Marie-Luce Gillet & Jean-Claude Feéret
