Marais was a French composer and viol player. "He is one of the outstanding figures in French music of the Baroque period. . A viol virtuoso Marais was one of the first French instrumentalists to make his mark as a soloist. Gifted with a remarkable technique he developed it adding new complexities. His pleasing tone had a rare power thanks to an 'airy' style of playing which made full use of open strings and their harmonics. However his virtuosity always took second place to his musicality. His performances full of charm and 'fire' captivated his contemporaries who said that he played 'like an angel'. Composer and performer were closely linked for at this time soloists concentrated almost exclusively on playing their own works at concerts. Between 1686 and 1725 Marais published five books of pieces for viol and continuo and several suites for two and three viols - a total of 596 pieces grouped into 39 suites two of them for three viols." Jérôme de La Gorce and Sylvette Milliot in Grove Music Online Works of both the artist Antoine Pezey 16-16 and the engraver Antoine Trouvain 1656-1708 of the title page are held in major museum collections. The present work constitutes the first published music for viola da gamba by Marin Marais the greatest viol-player of the Baroque era.

Contemporary mottled calf expertly rebacked to style spine gilt with raised bands red morocco lettering piece Rare first edition of an important work of optics and the musical nature of the refraction of color. La Chambre a protégé of Cardinal de Richelieu served as physician to Chancellor Seguier and Louis XIII and entered the Academie Royale in 1666. The present work was instrumental in the development of French mathematician Pierre de Fermat's eponymous principle as well as the experiments by Newton which led to his publication of Opticks in 1704. Following Aristotle in deriving a link between the color spectrum and musical theory La Chambre theorized all colors being encompasses within white light and arranged colors over two octaves with the seven colors of Aristotle at successive fourths fifths and octaves. Thus arranged symmetrically the "scale" could be read in either direction both up and down with white as the highest or lowest notes. La Chambre hoped to establish a universal theory of color and musical harmony; i.e. if a musical interval was dissonant the colors it represented would similarly clash. In Newton's Opticks this parallel between the color spectrum and a musical scale was further refined. A second edition of this work would be published in 1662.
