Following the first two volumes of Haydn'S string trios in a study score (HN 9424 und 9425), we are now publishing the third and final one. Although Haydn is said to have composed about 60 string trios, most of them must be discounted for source-critical and stylistic reasons. The eighteen trios which definitely lay claim to authenticity were published in volumes 1 and 2. The third volume contains eight trios attributed to Haydn, although his authorship cannot be proven. In addition to the Urtext edition (HN 628) these charming works are now also available in a handy score format. The musical text is that of the Haydn Complete Edition and it has been complemented by a new and informative preface by the Haydn scholar Sonja Gerlach.

Johann Pachelbel, born in Nuremberg in 1653, a generation before Bach, is one of Southern Germany's most important post-Reformation organ composers. His compositions were already widely known at the time. The most popular work today is probably the canon with ensuing gigue in D major. The canon – according to the source “a 3 Violinis con Basso c.” – is built up over an ostinato bass whose two bar figure is repeated a total of 28 times. The following short gigue is also in a strict contrapuntal style. It is not known when the work was composed. As with most of his other chamber music works, Pachelbel might have composed it during his time in Thuringia between 1677 and 1695. This pleasing work is also popular with amateur ensembles.

More than a few experts and aficionados count Mozart's string trio in E-flat major K. 563 among his most magnificent compositions. This masterwork, entered into Mozart's own catalog of works on 27 September 1788 as a “Divertimento,” presents the Urtext editor with great challenges. The autograph manuscript has been lost since that time, and no other first-rate source texts exist. The most reliable, albeit clearly imprecise, source is the first edition, published two months after Mozart's death. Many twentieth-century editions, however, unfortunately reprinted the musical text of Breitkopf & Härtel's so-called “Alte Gesamtausgabe” (Old Collected Edition), which was edited by none other than the violinist Joseph Joachim on the basis of incorrect copies and is therefore completely corrupt. Even the “Neue Mozart-Ausgabe” (New Mozart Edition) is not error-free. The Henle edition essentially follows the first edition, though aided by numerous corrective interventions, described in the Critical Commentary. The edition's Appendix presents the surviving fragment of the string trio movement in G major, K. Anh. 66 (562e). How unfortunate that Mozart never completed this equally wonderful music, which continues a little beyond the exposition and thus may quite aptly serve as a short encore. The three individual parts offer optimal flow for reading and playing thanks to the artful apportioning of notes in their layout, including, for instance, various foldout tables and individual pages left blank. The study edition (HN 9625), available separately, provides the full score to this edition of the parts.

Jacques Ibert (1890-1962) studied at the Paris Conservatoire before embarking upon a successful composing career. The composer wrote for a variety of instrumentations and his works remain popular to this day, Trio for Violin, Cello and Harp being no exception. Composed in 1944, Trio is suitable to advanced level violinists, cellists and harpists. Ibert was a unique composer who did not associate himself with any particular style. His music is generally lighthearted, often reflecting the composer's wit and humour. Containing a variety of musical aspects and techniques, and significantly composed for an unusual arrangement of violin and cello with harp accompaniment, Ibert's Trio is an exciting addition to the advanced level violin, cello and harp ensemble repertoire.

Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738) is considered to be the last great harp player of Ireland. He knew how to combine Irish music with Italian Baroque music, thus creating a large number of compositions, about 200 of which have survived. 16 of them were selected by Patrick PföB and arranged for two violins and cello for this edition.

In the Viennese classical era a divertimento was a light, multi-movement instrumental piece of cheerful, dance-like character. Alongside Mozart, it was above all Hayydn who mastered the art of composing light, entertaining divertimentos of the finest quality. As so often with Haydn, the authenticity of of the divertimentos for piano, two violins and violoncello attributed to him is not always certain. The present edition offers the five verifiably authentic works of the catalog group Hob. XIV in its main section, and in the appendix the Divertimento Hob. XIV:C2, which in all likelihood was composed by Haydn. All six – predominantly in C major – are easy to play and thus well suited for domestic music-making. The piano dominates, while the strings provide sonority. For our Urtext edition, including the detailed preface, we were able to engage Haydn scholar Horst Walter.

Around 1800 Beethoven seems to have completely distanced himself from chamber music for wind. In letters to his publisher we read that he did not have any particular regard for his Septet op. 20 and the Sextet op. 71; furthermore, he did not write any new works for wind ensembles. By contrast, he ennobled his Trio op.87 – originally for two oboes and cor anglais – by making an additional version for two violins and viola. This charming work is published following the Urtext in the Beethoven Complete Edition and is a welcome addition to the repertoire for these instruments for which a great deal has not otherwise been composed.
