Joseph Haydn

Trios for Baryton, Viola, and Cello arranged for 3 celli

Joseph Haydn

Haydn's patron, Prince Nikolaus Eszterhazy, was an enthusiastic amateur performer on the baryton, a sort of bass viola d'amore, and for him Haydn wrote more than two hundred trios. Few people play the baryton today, but the trios work very well transcribed for three celli. Trio #97 is the longest of the trios and was written for the prince's birthday. We intend to issue more of these trios in the future.
