The series - after three volumes of quartets - continues with trios this time. In the trio by Haydn the three cellos take turns playing the leading part. A special feature of the Purcell Chaconne is the fact that the two parts above the 6-bar ostinato bass move in canon throughout the piece. All three Mozart works - the Canon inversus (mirror canon), the Canzonetta and the Adagio - are miniature masterpieces. The Elgar work: Salut d'amour, with which the volume ends, demands a slightly higher level of skill, but is a rewarding task for everyone who performs it.

Chamber Music for Violoncellos
The wide range of the cello allows for the possibility of three or four cellos to play in different positions in order to create the sounds necessary for a fully-voiced chamber ensemble. This practice of transcribing works for multiple cellos began to gain popularity in the 19th century, and renowned pedagogue/composer Árpád Pejtsik has continued the tradition in this series.
