Jean Baptiste Loeillet (1680-1730)

For this post I am sharing the Allegro by Jean Baptiste Loeillet.  It is a simple piece in 3/4 time, and it is marked with a vivace tempo marking.  The simplicity of the piece does not make it free of challenges to the player, and the dynamic markings are a challenge to observe.  There are also challenges with the articulation in both the flute and harpsichord/piano parts.  In the flute part for example there are figures where the part leans or sighs.

In the videos below, I have included both the performance and the accompaniment.
