Product Description
This edition has been prepared from the set of parts published in 1747 by John Walsh. The 12 trio
sonatas were originally written for 2 violins with cello or harpsichord. The publication was supported
by George II who gave Boyce 14 years of copyright protection from 1745. The subscribers' list
printed in the edition included everyone of importance and included G.F. Handel and Thomas Arne.
The editing has been lightly done, additional dynamics in parentheses ( ), slurs added in dashed lines.
A couple of short passages in the 2 upper parts have been transposed up an octave to suit the range of
the instruments.
The bassoon part can also be played on a cello. The Trio Sonata can be played by players of about grade 5 - 6 ABRSM and is also suitable for more advanced players and professionals as concert repertoire.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
