Boulay, Robert - transcribed
Boulay, Laurence - realized

This Suite in D minor for viola and piano by Marin Marais (1656-1728) was transcribed by Paris Conservatory viola instructor Robert Boulay, with a realization of the continuo by his daughter, harpsichordist and musicologist Laurence Boulay. The movements for the suite were selected and transposed from Marin's Pièces de Viole, Book III, Suite No. 1 in A minor, which originally included 12 pieces for bass viol and continuo.
