Corelli Trio Sonatas Volume 1

Corelli wrote his Trio Sonatas at a time when instrumental performance was rising to the same level of technique and skill as vocal music. And Corelli's trios, in particular, were hailed as the finest examples of the time, and for being specifically designed for more modest demands upon the performers. What was true for the late 17th century is still true today - the Corelli trios are an integral part for any small beginning ensemble. Vienna Urtext turns their critical eyes to the first publications and earliest reprints to produce an excellent performing edition. The first volume covers the ""Sonata da chiesa,"" selected trios from Corellin's Opus 1 and Opus 3. For intermediate to advanced performers.
