Trio Music

February 15, 2008 at 11:58 PM · I'm sure an arrangement must exist of the Haydn London Trios for two violins and cello. I don't know where though (sorry)

Good luck

February 16, 2008 at 12:14 AM · That's tough. Well, this website does list 300 such pieces -- with the caveat that some of the pieces are for violin, cello and flute (or whatever) and then the second violin plays the part of the flute (or whatever).

Trios for 2 Violins and Cello

For example, you can play Mozart Trio in C major, K.439b.

That should keep you busy for awhile! :)

February 16, 2008 at 02:56 AM · Mozart's "Five Viennese Serenades" for string trio (two violins & cello). Absolutely wonderful!

February 16, 2008 at 05:37 PM · www.LastResortMusic.com has several volumes for various trios.

February 16, 2008 at 07:03 PM · The Last Resort books are great for gigs, esp. weddings, but I don't know you would enjoy playing those pieces for anything else...maybe, who knows?

Mozart wrote a couple of nice movements(2 violins/cello) which I can not find the music for. There's a recording on the Phillips label with the Arthur Grumiaux trio. They are KV266/267 (Adagio and Menuetto).

February 17, 2008 at 01:55 AM · Thanks for all the responses! We've played some of the London Trios and some of the pieces in the Last Resort music books, we really want more challenging repertoire though...I'll have to get a hold of some of the other stuff you guys mentioned...

Thank Sibley Music Library for that one!

You might also want to check out Two Sonatas by Tartini (also IMC) and Three Trios by Boccherini (don't know publisher - can't find mine right now). I've also come across wedding music by Lynne Latham for Violin, Viola and Cello, with optional Violin 2 for Viola. The Vancouver Public Library has a ton of Corelli trios (Zwölf Triosonaten für 2 Violinen und Basso continuo), but I've never been able to find them in a music store. The Corellis seem to work pretty well with two violins and cello, even without the cembalo part.

February 18, 2008 at 04:34 AM · At Last Resort Music Publishing, Inc., we have 12 volumes of trios that will work perfectly for that combination, plus 3 smaller collections of music, including tangos. The website is www.lastresortmusic.com. If you go there, you can find the listings of all the pieces contained in each volume.
