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.
