With the arrival of the seconda pratica in the early 17th century in Italy, new compositional possibilities were born: the accompanied monody and the liberation of the bass line.

Contrary to the Italian style, outgoing, virtuous, passionate, even extravagant, the French style is characterized by restraint, refinement and exquisiteness. French music is like a caress, a look that we seem to have imagined, a whisper, a gesture, and above all a dance.
