Eccles
Henry Eccles (1670–1742) was an English violinist and composer from a distinguished musical family; his brother John Eccles served as Master of the King's Music under Queen Anne. Henry spent the early part of his career at the English court before moving to France, where he joined the French Royal Band and settled in Paris. His twelve violin sonatas, published in Paris in 1720, are works of considerable elegance in the Italian Baroque manner; the Sonata in G minor, with its expressive slow movement, remains the most frequently performed of the set and a popular choice for recital and examination programmes.
