Trios without a viola part:
Anonymus (Venice, around 1700): Due sonate a due flauti e basso (in F and C)
Bach: Trio sonata in C minor from the Musical Offering.
Bach: Allegretto and Andante from the 3-part inventions for soprano, alto and tenor recorder
Bach: concerto in d minor for oboe, violin and cello. adapted from the concerto for two harpsicords BWV1060
Bach: Little Bach suite No. 2 for woodwind or string or mixed trio - includes Bb clarinet option.
CPE Bach: Trio in Bb major for flute, violin, cello.
WF Bach: Two fughettas for soprano, alto and tenor recorder (all parts in treble clef)
Corelli: 2 Chamber sonatas for two violins & BC: op 2 No. 4 in E minor, op 4 No. 9 in Bb major.
Haydn: Four London trios for two flutes or violins and cello Hob IV
Very accessible to amateur players and extremely lovely, these are from Haydn's second visit to London in 1794 and may have served as a sandpit where he tried out ideas for his later symphonic works. I discovered the Edition Peters set of trios 1-3 at Oxfam exactly when I needed it for our plague-time bandstand adventures, and we played them on several occasions.
YouTube recordings (see also my new playlist):
London Trio No. 1
London Trio No. 2
London Trio No. 3
London Trio No. 4
Haydn, Trio No. 4 in F for flute or recorder, violin, cello or piano, op 11 No. 4 (Schott). First published by Hummel in 1770, this is presumably an adaptation of one of the 128 baryton trios, but it’s not No. 4.
Gottfried Keller (died 1704) Trio sonata in Bb for treble recorder/violin, oboe/violin, basso continuo
Haydn: Trio in G major for alto, tenor and bass recorder (all parts in treble clef)
Jean-Marie Leclair l'aine: Two trio sonatas for two violins and bc, op 13, no. 1 and 2
JB Loeillet, sonata No. 1 G major for two violins & piano
JB Loeillet, Trio sonata in C minor (op. II/6) Parts are marked: alto recorder/flute; oboe/violin; b.c./cello/bassoon/viola da gamba.
Mozart: serenade in C for two violins and cello "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" KV 648. This is the piece that was rediscovered in 2024 youtube premiere here. We played it a couple of months later, very exciting to play a new Mozart piece. Presumed to be an early teenage work, it appears to prefigure the famous serenade "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" K525 in some elements. Score and parts are available to download for free from ISMLP.
Quantz: Trio sonata in G, K46, for oboe, bassoon or cello, and bc.
JM Sperger (1750-1812), terzetto primo a flauto, violino e violoncello
Carl Stamitz, six trios for two violins and violoncello, op 16
Various composers: Chamber Music for beginners, Editio Musica Budapest. Very easy trios with melody parts available for violin or flute/oboe or Bb clarinet, bass part for cello or bassoon.
Trios with a viola part:
Jean Barriere: Trio sonata in d minor for viola, cello and bc (also has a cello version of the viola part).
Beethoven: Serenade for violin viola cello op. 8 We played parts of this in October, lovely stuff. A youtube performance is here.
Beethoven: Serenade for flute violin viola op. 25
Haydn: Four London trios for two flutes or violins and cello Hob IV
After the version described above I also found a different edition including all four trios from Southern Music that also includes parts for Bb clarinet, viola and bassoon. I think we once tried combining both sets and it didn't work. Arrangers must have changed more than just the instrumentation.
Haydn: Trio for violin, viola, cello in Eb, Hoboken V Es1
Telemann: Concerto a tre in F, for recorder, horn or viola and bc or bassoon or cello.
Various composers: Chamber Music II, Editio Musica Budapest. Very easy trios with parts for violin/flute/oboe, viola or Bb clarinet, cello or bassoon.
Two recent acquisitions in the category trios with a viola part.
Update 20.12.2024, added the Mozart trio which we played this week. Funnily enough, there wasn't a single Mozart piece in the trio collection before.
