Arrangements for flute, violin, and cello:
These are done specifically for these instruments, taking into consideration the unique qualities, ranges, and possibilities of each. They include easier pieces (“Four Scandinavian Folk Songs”) to very challenging and complete works (“Trio in E flat” of Mozart) The quality of the original music, the suitable arrangement, the legible notation, and the carefully thought out page turns, make these trios a joy to play for many types of performances. The Legacy Ensemble has enjoyed adding these to their repertoire, and hopefully you will like them as well.
