Haydn Joseph - Trio G-dur Hob V:20 - 2 Violin, Cello

String Quartets Book VIII op. 64-The quartets were dedicated to the violinist Johann Tost who was the second principal violinist at the Esterházy court during the 1780s. His business sense led him to sell twelve quartets - opus 64 was probably amongst them -to a Parisian publisher. Whether Haydn approved of this is open to question - the dedication was however no longer present in the second imprint or the following ones. Our edition follows the Haydn CompleteEdition and for the first time juxtaposes the quartet in E flat major and the two original trios.

Le présent volume est une continuation de la collection 'Chamber Music for Beginners' (Z. 6915). Ses pièces sont seulement un peu plus difficile que les oeuvres qui y sont contenues (instrumentistes à cordes peuvent effectuer la plupart des morceaux en première position). 'Chamber Music II. comprend des oeuvres de maîtres de la Vienne classicisme. Ils peuvent déjà être acquis en même temps que les morceaux un peu plus exigeants du volume 'Chamber Music for Beginners'. / Ensemble Mixte
