The third of Jean-Marie Leclair's four books of violin sonatas displays the qualities of exquisite Italianate lyricism and French dance idioms that made the earlier works such a stylistic triumph. However, the composer's pervasive use of variation form in this book offers a new element, and the technical demands increase through continuous multiple-stopping, intricate figuration and the inclusion of rustic drones. Violinist Adrian Butterfield, who has been described by Gramophone 'as technically and musically a marvel' (Naxos 8.572866 / Violin Sonatas, Book 3, Nos. 1-5 and 8), is a leading exponent of Leclair's music.
