Johann Wilhelm Gabrielski (1791 - 1846) was a flutist in Berlin, and although he and his works are not as well-known, it is said that Friedrich Kuhlau - who most flutists today know of - dedicated his only flute quartet to Gabrielski.

This flute trio was originally written with most of the melody and interesting passages played by the 1st flute. I enjoy playing pieces that are a bit more equal among all players, so I re-arranged this piece in that manner.

This is a great recital piece.

The trio in a contemporary arrangement is incomparable in composition. It was originally written for two oboes and cor anglais, here it has been transposed to D major for flute and was published in London as op. 29 (c. 1825). It is likely that this arrangement was made by the original publisher Monzani, who was also a well-known flotist.
