about
Le Sieur de Machy (fl. second half of the 17th century) was a French viol player, composer, and teacher, remembered principally for his "Pièces de Violle en Musique et en Tablature" (1685), a valuable source of information on the performance practices of his time. He studied with Nicolas Hotman. At least from 1692 he lived in Paris. He described himself as the first composer whose viola da gamba works were published. This is not quite correct because by 1642 the collection "Fantaisies pour les violles" by Nicolas Metrus had been published. These and others were, however, written for gamba consort, while de Machy in his book preferred polyphonic playing for solo gamba in the tradition of Nicolas Hotman, André Maugars, and Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe. The eight surviving suites by de Machy are printed half in notation and half in tablature. He preceded them with a technical introduction that has a high historical value, because he listed the most important ornaments together with the method of playing them.
