Description:
Marin Marais (1656-1728) was a 17th-18th century French composer and viol player for the court of Louis XIV. He is primarily known for his five books for one, two and three bass viols and continuo. The Suite in D minor comes from his first book Premier livre de pièces une et deux violes (1689). The 27 solos contained in this collection are arranged for mandolin solo and are presented in notation and tablature.
