String Trio
This important chamber work for strings was commissioned by the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation at the Library of Congress, and received its first performance at a concert at the Library.
This quote is from a NY Times review of the work performed by the Notre Dame String Trio in 1996:
"Villa-Lobos apparently tabled his interest in Brazilian folk styles when he composed his String Trio in 1945, a lush score cast fully in the language of mainstream neo-Romanticism."
Violin, Viola & Cello
The score is published by Max Eschig in Paris.
Trio for Violin, Viola and Violoncello Parts. By Hector Villa-Lobos. Editions Durand. 14 pages. Published by Max Eschig. (50562015)
