Loure, from Sonata in C, “L’Italienne,” op. 8 no. 6 (viola duo)

Title: Loure, from Sonata in C, “L’Italienne,” op. 8 no. 6

Composer: Nicolas Chédeville, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Two Violas

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Chédeville wrote this sonata to be played by two musettes (a type of small bagpipe), two flutes, two oboes or two violins. This movement has been transposed to G Major to make it suitable for two violas. Given the options in instrumentation, I don’t think the composer would have had any objection.
