Ensemble “Pian & Forte”About
In the capital he found employment as a music teacher for the Prince of Vaudémont, who took him along on a trip to Italy where Montéclair perfected his study of the double bass, an instrument in which he was quite proficient, becoming, once back in Paris, a member of the orchestra of the Opéra.
Montéclair died on 22 November 1737. He has left us a considerable number of compositions, both vocal and instrumental, among them the six Concerts pour la flute traversière avec la basse chifrée, published in 1724/25, which include the four Concerts featured on this CD.
It ought to be said that the term Concert had for Montéclair a different meaning than it would have had for an Italian (or a German) composer of his day; in this connotation, though, we frequently find it used by 17th- and 18th-century French composers.
The Concerts pour la flute traversière avec la basse chifrée, as its title specifies, consists of six concertos for German (transverse) flute, the instrument that was then beginning to oust the recorder from the favours of amateur musicians. They are ample collections of pieces that are often very different in character from one another.
