Abstract
The piece ,,Tableau de l'operation de la taille'', written for viola b y the French composer Marin Marais in 1725, presents an operation for removal of a stone in the bladder in musical form. Musicological analy sis shows that in the early 18th century the lateral perineal approach was normally used for such operations in France. Medico-historical an notations complement the musicological analysis.
