The first of six 'SONATES à quatre parties différentes et également travaillées' for 3 Flutes, violins or 'autres Instruments avec la Basse' published in Paris in 1731. The arrangement for flute, oboe, clarinet & bassoon anticipates the availability of the clarinet by a couple of decades. There are 4 movements, Adagio, Presto, Adagio & Allegro in the French baroque style. The only dynamic indicated is the piano at the end of the last movement. Players of intermediate ability and above will enjoy the independent part playing and the opportunity to add extra decorations in the adagios.

Erik Satie's Gymnopedies are unique studies in how music can be beautiful, yet uncomplicated. They were originally for piano, however Satie's friend, Claude Debussy set two of them for orchestra. Debussy added just a very little while arranging, but what he did add makes a big difference in how well these two pieces work for a woodwind quartet. The 3,1 in the title refer to Debussy's reversing the order deliberately to make the music flow better when using only two of the pieces. John Gibson used this setting for his woodwind quartet that includes flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, and bassoon.
