Two interesting curiosities stand out in Hünten's \u003ci\u003eoeuvre. \u003c\/i\u003eThe thematic subject matter of the \u003ci\u003eVirelay et rondeau martial sur l'opéra de G. Onslow Guise u Les États de Blois \u003c\/i\u003ecasts intriguing light on the historicizing tendencies of 1830s French romanticism (the \"virelay\" in question was written by Onslow, not Hünten). And the \u003ci\u003eFantaisie arabe sur l'air Kradoudja \u003c\/i\u003etestifies to the Parisians' burgeoning fascination with musical orientalism, a fascination that received its decisive impulse from the premiere of Félicien David's \u003ci\u003eLe désert in \u003c\/i\u003e1844.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57106764661110,"sku":"9780815308546","price":131.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_39715263_af1a6b54-06ae-4242-8a23-6a021a797e08.jpg?v=1769694000","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780815308546-francois-hunten-1793-1878","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
