Full score and parts
Music example Op. 4 No. 9 (pdf)
The Six Trio Sonatas of the Italian composer and violinist Michele Mascitti (1663/4–1760), published alongside eight violin sonatas in his Op. 4, are four- or five-movement works that felicitously mix the ‘church’ and ‘chamber’ styles in various configurations. This is the most ‘social’ music imaginable and will give great enjoyment in both a recreational and a concert setting.
