6 Trios op. 12, for Flute, Viola and Violoncello

Around 1780 the Six Trio pour une Flute, un Alto et un Violoncelle were engraved in three part books at Berault in Paris. These served as a basis for the reprint. The score reflects the dynamics and articulation of the early print. The voices, on the other hand, were supplemented in the articulation and set up for playing. The specification of a uniform dynamic seemed necessary, because Giordani, according to the custom at that time, usually prescribes a f for the subject, and a p for the other voices, or a staggered dynamic. The staccato characters, which are not always strictly differentiated in the draft, were reproduced in the votes as points.
