In the first years of the century, the Lullist tradition came up against Italian influences, which were then inundatedwith Europe, notably by the publication of Arcangelo Corelli's sonata for violin in 1700. The composers quickly adopted sonatas and concertos, and were soon applauded in Paris, at the “Concert Sprituel”. The virtuoso solo music, led by the new brilliance of the violin that prevails against the viola da gamba, seduces the public whose authority will be an important engine for the evolution of instrumental music. As one of the great musicians of the century, Leclair will leave an important heritage in the French school of violin.
Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre and François Couperin will also see their works combined with the double French and Italian heritage. In the French tradition, these two composers will borrow the melodic elegance, the taste of the dance, the ornamentation.
