The Brussels Manuscript
Baron’s works are characterized by a baroque idiom heavily influenced by the galant style. Many are contained in a series of manuscript fascicles in French tablature, kept today at the Bibliothèque Royale Albert I of Brussels, under the reference B-Br Ms. II 4087. Some of these documents belonged to the publisher Breitkopf, who had ordered copies around 1760.
In the course of the 19th century, they were acquired by François-Joseph Fétis, a musician, musicologist and Director of the Brussels Conservatory, who added them to the tablature collection he had already constituted.
