This is the sixth of twelve Trio Sonatas first published in London in 1747 by John Walsh for 'Two Violins With a Bass for Violoncello or Harpsichord by William Boyce.' This arrangement keeps closely to the original, the main changes are of register to accommodate the ranges of the flute & oboe. Extra slurs - indicated by dashed lines - have been added to suit the characters of the wind instruments. The dynamics in the original were all printed in full e.g. pianissimo, but, surprisingly, the opening dynamic which invariably would be forte was always omitted. The three movements are Adagio, Vivace & a short (7 bar/measures ) Adagio leading to Affetuoso. Players of intermediate standard and above will enjoy this sonata with its independent equal parts.
