Description

Composer: Franz Joseph Haydn
Editor: Wolfgang Stockmeier
Fingering: Jorg Demus
Format: Parts Set
Instrumentation: Piano Trio (Piano, Violin, Cello)
In the Classical period, and well into the 19th century, piano trios were almost « fashion accessories », At the end of his life, Haydn could look back proudly at the 39 piano trios which he now left to posterity.
Volume I contains the eleven early trios; some of them date from as far back as the 1760s, yet still form a unified group. Since the cello part, always loosely designated as « basso » in the source, mostly tallies with the bass part, the pieces can also be performed by piano and violin alone, and are thus a valuable enrichment of the violin and piano duet genre.
