Trio in B für zwei Violinen und Violoncello

Der aus Pesaro stammende Luigi Tomasini war ab 1762 erster Geiger an den Esterházy-Kapelle und Kompositionsschüler von Joseph Haydn.

„The musical value of this piece can be appreciated by bearing in mind their original context in the Esterhazy and Viennese courts: they were composed as easy listening for an afternoon’s entertainment. However, the music is not devoid of depth and inventiveness, the chromaticism in the Adagio for example is a moment which contribute to its general charm and appeal.
