Wiki about this sonata:
Impersonation of Vivaldi

In 1737 he made a secret agreement with Jean-Noël Marchand to publish a collection of his own compositions as Antonio Vivaldi's op.13, entitled Il pastor fido. Chédeville supplied the money and received the profits, all of which was attested to in a notarial act by Marchand in 1749[1]. This may have been an attempt to give his instrument, the musette, the endorsement of a great composer which it lacked.

His interest in Italian music led to his receiving, in August 1739, a privilege to publish arrangements for the musette, hurdy-gurdy or flute of concertos and sonatas by ten specific Italian composers, in addition to Johann Joachim Quantz and Mahaut. Le printems, ou Les saisons amusantes (1739) is a particularly amusing result of this privilege; it is an arrangement of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons for hurdy-gurdy or musette, violin, and flute (though the French flute could also mean the recorder). He replaced Vivaldi's original Summer with his op.8 no.9 concerto, transferred the middle movement of Winter to Autumn, and replaced Winter op.8 no.12. All this was quite freely arranged and combined with some added Vivaldian material by Chédeville.
