3Among early French Violinists must be mentioned Joseph Marchand and François Duval, both of whom were connected with the music establishment of the King. From the pen of the former came Twelve Sonatas for the same instruments for which Handel adapted his Violin Sonatas, namely, Flute, Hautboy, or Violin. Their publication was sufficiently successful to cause them to run to a second edition. Duval also published Seven books of Sonatas.
5Jean Baptiste Senaillè, born in Paris, in 1687, like his predecessor, Anet, turned to the Italian School, rightly regarding it as the true basis of sound Violin playing. After receiving tuition from Queversin, one of the members of Louis XIV.'s band, he went to Modena to continue his studies, returning to Paris in 1719, when he entered the service of the Duke of Orleans. He published two books of Sonatas for Violin and Bass, one of which M. Deldevez has introduced into his collection of early Violin works.
