Note: Nicolas Chédeville was a composer of the French baroque who wrote primarily light works for small ensembles, frequently with multiple possible uses. The sonatas of op. 8 were designed to be playable on two violins, two flutes, two oboes, or two musettes, the latter being Chédeville’s own instrument. “L’Italienne” is a delightful sonata, and the movements included here are characteristic of the composer’s style.
