Composed by Jean-Baptiste Quentin. Edited by Michael Talbot. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH608-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH608-FSP). ISBN 9790708213222.
Quentin’s trio sonatas are impressive for their command of all the elements of musical composition, particularly counterpoint (fugues are one of his specialities). They mix French and Italian elements attractively and vary the movement types employed intelligently so as to give each work individuality. They are equally suited to recreational and concert use and deserve to stand alongside their companion works by such composers as Leclair and Mondonville.
