Jean–Marie Leclair: Violin Concertos | Opus 7 | c. 1737

Leclair’s output, with high technical and musical level of his writing won him acclaim as the “Corelly de la France.” Each concerto consists of three movements, alternating tutti and soli. The slow movements frequently consist of italianate melodies but they often follow French inspiration in their expression or their dances in moderate tempo.
