After the success of her recordings with music by Vivaldi, Biber, and Corelli, Lina Tur Bonet focuses for this new release on the French female composer Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a protegee of Louis XIV. The six Sonates pour le viollon et pour le clavecin by Elisabeth-Claude Jacquet de La Guerre, dedicated to Louis XIV, appeared in Paris in 1707, the year when the models and the most recent invenzioni of the Italian sonata arrived in France, immediately captivating composers such as Louis-Antoine Dornel, Michel Blavet, Francois Couperin and Jean-Marie Leclair l’aine. Although the collection was printed in 1707, it appears that as early as 1695 Elisabeth had sent a copy of at least two sonatas to her friend Sebastien de Brossard, theoretician and composer fascinated by the Italian repertoire, a factor which had made it possible to bring forward significantly the date of composition in the anthology, making this one of the first French examples of sonatas for violin and basso continuo.
