String trio music recommendations
Looking for recommendations for string trio music (vln, vla, vlc).

Any more unusual pieces, that aren't too obscure (meaning, I can find the music for them), would be great!

TIA

Not the "famous" string trio c-minor, but a "Serenade" in D major (?). Wonderful piece!

Re: String trio music recommendations
If it hasn't already been suggested, the Serenade by Dohnanyi is a terrific piece, full of great moments of lyric beauty, as well as inventive chromaticism. There is also an arrangement of the Bach Goldberg Variations by Dmitri Sitkovetsky (Doblinger publ.) which I have played and would highly recommend!

String Trios
Mozart Divertimento K.563

This is a lovely piece of music and readily available.

The 7 trios by Giardini are quite nice and are listed in the Frank catalog. The cello parts are advanced and interesting, with excursions to the tenor and treble clefs . I have an Italian edition Felice Giardini (1716-1796) Sette TRII Editore Guglielmo Zanibon Padova, catalog G 3697.

The trio in B flat by Johann Friedrich Reichart (1752-1814) is also quite enjoyable. It is published by Zimmeramann - Frankfurt ZM 2199 and is also listed in the Frank catalog. The cello part is easier than the Giardini, but does go frequently into tenor clef.

Ellen at Cellos2GO has been locating music of late and you could try her as well.

Thanks for the suggestions! Apparently we are supposed to be doing Beethoven Dmaj. Should be fun... chamber assignments went up today and the violinist in my trio is one of the faculty members. I guess this means I'll be spending even more time practicing. :)

The staples have been mentioned: Dohnanyi, Mozart, 5 by Beethoven.

There are also two by Schubert, both in B flat. One is one movement only, the other in 4 movements.

I also recall playing ones by Reger, Hindemith and Schoenberg. There must be many more.......

I've done Schubert one mvt. and the Dohnanyi - both really excellent works. Add any Beethoven.

Re:String trio music recommendations
some "unusual" trios, which worked very good for us, between Schubert and Dohnanyi:
Armin Kaufmann - trio opus 60. (ed. Doblinger) a trio dated 1952 from a Austrian/Tsjech composer, not too difficult to play, but with some tricky ritmes.
Rudolf Escher - Trio a cordes (ed. Donemus Amsterdam)
from 1959. Escher is a Dutch composer, sometimes called a modern impressionist. Very beautiful music, but not easy.
Jean Francaix - Trio (ed. Schott) a fun piece, if you have a good violinist.

there must be lots more, but these 3 jump into mind directly.

ditto the Jean Francaix recommendation -- it's a fun piece, and in case you're not familiar with him, Jean Francaix is usually a kick to listen to -- very playful stuff.
