Background: The profuse invention of the thirty-two variations on Les Folies d'Espagne is an object lesson in how to exploit every characteristic of the sixteenth-century theme, sculpting and ornamenting the melody, 'opening out' its harmony, varying the rhythm and tempo, and fully exploring the extensive range of the bass viol.

Then comes the Suite in E minor, accompanied this time not by the harpsichord but by theorbo, again with guitar, and second bass viol.

The programme includes Le Labyrinthe, taken from the Suitte d'un goût etranger (Suite in a foreign style) published in the fourth book of pieces for viol (1717). Here we are transported from one key to another in an erratic itinerary full of surprises, with inflections so theatrical that it sometimes includes quasi-recitative passages, as well as a fleeting musette that suggests a choreographic dimension.
