In 1738 the acclaimed violinist and composer Michele Mascitti (1664-1760) published in Paris his ninth collection of 'Sonatas'. The seventy-four-year-old Neapolitan musician was at the end of his long and celebrated career, but not of his creative powers. Dedicated to the Crozat family, which was to be Mascitti's patron until the end of his life, the 'Twelve Sonatas for Violin and Bass, Op. 9' are fine examples of the graceful blend of Italian and French styles that made this composer so popular in France.
