The London Trios Hob. IV: 1-4
Haydn, FJ

Originally composed for two flutes and cello, the London Trios were a gift from Haydn to the Baron of Aston in Preston, outside of London in 1794. These trios were a sort of hostess present in appreciation of his visit with the Baron. The uncommon instrumentation of flutes and cello during this time period was very well received, as the flute was growing very popular in England and considered quite fashionable.

The flexible instrumentation in this arrangement gives flutists the opportunity for several performance possibilities: the first two parts can be played on Alto Flute or Concert Flute, and the third part can be played on Bass Flute or Contrabass Flute.
