Description

For two flutes and cello.  Set includes parts, no score.  A brief Preface is printed inside the folder holding the parts.  No endnotes or footnotes. 

The London Trios are a set of eight movements, composed in 1794.  These were first published in the form of two works of three movements each and two single movements.  In Trio I, there are two versions of the second movement, the second being slightly shorter than the first.  The Henle, Amadeus, and Peters editions present both versions as having been authorized by Haydn. 

The seemingly incomplete nature of the two single movements, plus the alteration of another, has attracted recombinations of the set of eight in most published editions.  The Henle edition presents the array of movements as originally offered to the public in print.  The Peters edition recognizes three trios only, while omitting one movement.  The Amadeus edition uses one movement twice and reassigns others, claiming to be in accord with their sources.

Three other editions are similar to one another in their lineup of movements.  These are the Baerenreiter, International, and Southern editions.  In these editions, the slow movement of Trio I is an amalgamation of the earlier and later versions, presumably the work of editor Leo Balet in 1931. 

The Baerenreiter layout of movements is as follows:

Trio I:  Allegro moderato, 4/4 in C.  Andante (altered version), 6/8 in G.  Vivace, 2/4 in C. 

Trio II:  Andante in G [Andante, 2/4, G Major to G minor; Allegro, 2/4 in G Major.  (Same as Henle edition Trio IV.)

Trio III:  Spiritoso, 4/4 in G.  Andante, 6/8 in C.  Allegro, 3/4 in G.  (Same as Henle edition Trio II.)  

Trio IV:  Triosatz in G [Allegro, no tempo marking in original].  (Same as Henle edition Trio III.)   

The Preface makes no mention of the re-written movement described above.  Some editorial performance markings.
