La Favoritte Tendrement (Sonates, Duo & Pièces Pour le pardessus de viole, Book 2) is a collection of music composed by Charles Dollé. The collection was composed in the mid-18th century and premiered in Paris in 1750. It consists of six sonatas, one duo, and several pieces for the pardessus de viole, a small viola that was popular in France during the Baroque period. The six sonatas in the collection are characterized by their lyrical melodies and elegant ornamentation. They are written in the traditional sonata form, with three movements each. The first movement is typically in a fast tempo and features a lively theme that is developed throughout the movement. The second movement is slower and more expressive, often featuring a beautiful melody that is played with great sensitivity. The final movement is usually a lively dance, such as a gigue or a minuet. The duo in the collection is a charming piece that showcases the pardessus de viole and the viola da gamba, another popular instrument of the Baroque period. The piece is written in a simple, yet elegant style, with the two instruments playing in close harmony. The pieces for the pardessus de viole in the collection are some of the most beautiful and expressive works of the Baroque period. They are characterized by their delicate melodies and intricate ornamentation, which require great skill and sensitivity to perform. The pardessus de viole was a small instrument, and the pieces in this collection are written to showcase its unique sound and capabilities. Overall, La Favoritte Tendrement (Sonates, Duo & Pièces Pour le pardessus de viole, Book 2) is a beautiful collection of music that showcases the elegance and refinement of the Baroque period. Its lyrical melodies, elegant ornamentation, and delicate instrumentation make it a true masterpiece of the era.
