Mozart was composing by the time he was 5, and was also a talented violinist and pianist.This piece was written around 1783 and was originally composed for 2 oboes and english horn. A lovely, easy trio for two violins and viola, this piece is mostly in first position, with occasional forays into third position. The rhythm and bow use are very straightforward.

His compositions include orchestral and chamber music, operas, cantatas, Masses and oratorios. Most of his works (over 1000 compositions)were destroyed in 1735 during a fire in Rudolstadt.This caused Erlebach’s music to be almost completely forgotten. Only 70 compositions (about 7 percent of his working output) survived, some only in handwritten manuscript form, which later had to be transcribed. Much of his posterity is dependent upon published editions of his works. A charming, intermediate baroque trio arranged for three violins, this piece is based on a work originally composed for violin, viola da gamba and cello. Ideal for intermediate students, adult amateurs and professionals. Only the first violin part ventures briefly into third position - the other parts can be played in first position.

His compositions include orchestral and chamber music, operas, cantatas, Masses and oratorios. Most of his works (over 1000 compositions) were destroyed in 1735 during a fire in Rudolstadt .This caused Erlebach’s music to be almost completely forgotten. Only 70 compositions (about 7 percent of his working output) survived, some only in handwritten manuscript form, which later had to be transcribed.
