These works are very different from the earlier viol pieces, from the instruments used to the works’ formal structures: they include a sonata inspired by Italian models marked à la marésienne (in Marais’ own style), a piece on a three note basso ostinato that evokes the peals of bells in a Parisian church, and an astonishing monument of a piece — La Gamme — that Marais described as an example of a small opera for instruments.
