CAIX D´HERVELOIS Louis de (1680-1760)
Caix d'Hervelois, Suite in A major op.6,1
1736 the French violist and composer Caix dHervelois published a collection of four suites for transverse flute and continuo. The first of these appears here in a modern practical edition. These suites offer the same melodic and stylistic appeal that characterize the more known works of Caix dHervelois for viola da gamba. The work is of amoderate degree of difficulty. According to the original title it is also especially suited for the pardessus de viole. Of course it can be played on the violin as well.
