Sonatas for Violin and Continuo, Book 1 No.2

10 min.

composed by Eccles

Book 1 No.2 consists of the following five movements, I. Largo, II. Allegro, III. Sarabande: Largo, IV. Rondeau gavotte: Vivace, V. Giga: Allegro.
Sonorous and beutiful piece. Someone may feel that the five movement, Giga, sounds like Joseph Bodin de Boismortier’s work (For example, please see Six Sonatas No.2 Op.7-2 V. Gigue by Boismortier). It might be related to the theory that Eccles was in France and he borrowed movements from the others for the Book.
