Giuseppe Dall’Abaco
Trio sonata in B-flat major
Two violins, violoncello and harpsichord
edited by Michael Talbot
Giuseppe Dall’Abaco's sole surviving trio sonata, published here for the first time, reveals his absolute mastery of the craft of composition as applied to ensemble music. It is highly melodious, exceptional in its command of harmony and counterpoint and beautifully structured. Violinists will relish the way in which the first and second instruments share the main musical material equally, weaving fascinating patterns as they do so.
