Charles Mouton, a distinguished French lutenist and composer, left an indelible mark on the musical landscape of the Baroque era. Born around 1626, Mouton's talent flourished under the patronage of Louis XIV, making him a notable figure in the royal court's artistic circle. His compositions, primarily for the lute, are celebrated for their intricate melodies and technical virtuosity, reflecting the elegance and refinement of the Rococo style.
