Composed by Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville. Arranged by Richard Willmer. This edition: pdf. Baroque, Chamber, Classical, Early Music, Historic. 9 pages. Richard Willmer #1124190. Published by Richard Willmer (A0.1551753).
Mondonville's six sets of Harpsichord pieces in Sonate with violin accompaniment look to the future. Here the harpsichord is no longer the continuo it had been up to then, but it does not yet have a solo part of its own. The violin is not a continuo instrument either, as the title of the works might imply. In matter of fact, both instruments do not alternate solo passages but rather fight each other and the ear is left wondering whom it should listen to.
This aria (in reality a rondò) from the fourth sonata, in C major, however, is clearly a violin piece. Cast in c minor, it has a charming melancholy that reminds me a bit of an aria from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro.
I copied the music from the original edition. The harpsichord right hand part was written originally in the soprano clef, so I modernised it. I corrected some obvious errors and omissions as well as specifying some ornaments where the composer had written + or even a symbol resembling a smallish c (which, according to Bach, indicates a rising appoggiatura) against a note. The dotted rhythm in the theme is not written this way in the score, but is characteristic of the French style and I have heard it played as such in performance.
The metronome and pause are mine, as well as the ritardando, ritenuto, a tempo and espressivo indications. Slurs are in the original, as well as the 2 indication next to the first E.
