Pièces de violes 1728

Pièces de violes is a collection of instrumental pieces for viol by French composer François Couperin, published in 1728. The music exemplifies the French Baroque style with ornate ornamentation, dance-derived forms and an intimate interplay between the solo viol and continuo, and it stands as one of Couperin's later contributions to the repertoire for viols in the early 18th century.
