The string trio is often viewed, according to the hindsight of chamber music history, as a kind of minor sub\-genre, a \x27quartet minus one.\x27 We at The Vivaldi Project, however, propose that the 18th\-century string quartet might more aptly be described as a \x27trio plus one.\x27 The Classical string trio, as the successor to the immensely popular Baroque trio sonata (exemplified by Antonio Vivaldi and his contemporaries), would out\-publish the string quartet in the 1760s by a ratio of more than 5 to 1. The resulting body of works includes more than 2000 trios from many of the century’s most revered and eminent composers. Volume 3 of our series, Discovering The Classical String Trio, continues to explore this vast and essentially unknown repertoire with seven newly recorded works?from the string trio\x27s early origins in Italy to its expression at the height of the Classical period in Vienna.\n The string trio is often viewed, according to the hindsight of chamber music history, as a kind of minor sub\-genre, a \x27quartet minus one.\x27 We at The Vivaldi Project, however, propose that the 18th\-century string quartet might more aptly be described as a \x27trio plus one.\x27 The Classical string trio, as the successor to the immensely popular Baroque trio sonata (exemplified by Antonio Vivaldi and his contemporaries), would out\-publish the string quartet in the 1760s by a ratio of more than 5 to 1.
