Four London Trios, Hob. IV:1-4 for string or wind trio (parts) by Franz Joseph Haydn
Arranged by Joel Lish. Published by Last Resort Music
Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was one of the greatest composers of Western classical music. A ceaseless innovator, he led the transition from the Baroque into the Classical period, refining and inventing many forms and genres and influencing countless composers, notably Mozart and Beethoven, whom he mentored. He became chiefly renowned for his humor, spontaneity, and inventive motivic development. He is known as the “father of the symphony” and the “father of the string quartet.”
Haydn enjoyed a career renaissance during his celebrated travels to London. One of his wealthy patrons was Lord Abington, an amateur flute player. In a gesture of thanks and appreciation, Haydn wrote for him a set of divertimenti–his Four London Trios for two flutes and cello, Hob. IV: 1-4. These charming, genteel pieces have sophisticated counterpoint, though can be played easily by an amateur.
