Trio

Christoph Graupner (1683-1760), a pupil of Schelle and Kuhnau among others, is considered to be a typical composer of his time. Following the gallant, yet still being committed to the scholarly style, he created works of substance which were open to all new trends. Delicate motivic work, sequencing and imitation are characteristic of his compositional style.
This new edition of the Trio Sonata in B minor for flauto traverso, violin and basso continuo is based on the fair autograph copy kept at the Universitaets- und Landesbibliothek of Darmstadt.
