notes
The edition of a book with this title is advertised in the Avertissements of similar collections edited by Feuillet (for example VII.e Recüeil de dances pour l’année 1709 , Paris, auteur, 1709).
The exact instrumentation is ambiguous, likely intentionally. Either dessus or basse de viole could be the solo instrument, accompanied by b.c., or could play in duo.
The book is probably lost; all editions by Feuillet kept in F-Pn contain melodies without bass.
