« alla Muffat »: French, Italian, or maybe a mix of both?

Description

We can without hesitation describe Georg Muffat as a musical cosmopolitan. Born in 1653 in Megève, Savoy, he received musical training in Paris, where he became familiar with Lully's style, before spending several years in Rome from 1680, studying with Bernardo Pasquini and meeting Arcangelo Corelli. The French and Italian styles profoundly influenced and impressed Muffat. Although he always tried, in his own compositions, not to mix these two styles, the question constantly arises whether he truly succeeded in doing so, or if he sometimes fell into a 'mixed' language that is his own. With the concerto « arcus caelestis »
