When Joseph Haydn (1732 - 1809) lived in Eisenstadt, he
composed for prince Esterhazy 125 trios for baryton,
viola and cello. Baryton is a now forgotten old string
instrument related to cello.
Here we present an arrangement of trio no. 78 for
basset horn, viola and cello. In order to adapt the
piece better to basset horns, it has been transposed
from original d-major to F-major. |
