Vivement, from Sonata in C, op. 8 no. 6 – L’Italienne (violin duo)

Title: Vivement, from Sonata in C, op. 8 no. 6, L’Italienne

Composer: Nicolas Chédeville, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Two Violins

Printout: 2 pages

Note: Nicolas Chédeville was well known as a performer on the musette, a small bagpipe-like instrument for which most of his music was written. His compositions are generally light in character, charming and tuneful. In this movement, the two instruments cross registers and exchange motifs almost as if in conversation. Both parts can be played on flute or oboe.
