Nicolas Chédeville's Sonata No. 6 in G minor is the sixth of six sonatas in his collection titled 'Il pastor fido,' originally composed for a musette, and c However, it is commonly played on other instruments including the hurdy-gurdy, flute, oboe, and violin. The sonata, featuring four movements and a fugal section, was once misattributed to Antonio Vivaldi before Chédeville's authorship was recognized.

Nicolas Chédeville (February 20, 1705 Serez, Normandy - August 6, 1782 Paris) French composer, musette player and musette maker. Louis Hotteterre was his great uncle and godfather, and may have given him instruction in music and turning instruments. Played oboe and musette at the Paris Opera orchestra in the 1720s. In 1732 joined Les Grands Hautbois, the royal oboe band. Retired from the opera in July 1748. Taught the musette to Princess Victoire from about 1750, and became a popular teacher among the aristocracy, eventually attaining the title of maître de musette des Mesdames de France. When nearly 70 he married the younger daughter of a valet who had once worked for the Duc d'Orléans. Chédeville's compositions were intended for the amusement and pleasure of wealthy amateur musicians.
