2 Flutes and Bassoon. Score and Parts.

Jérôme Duval lived in the late 18th and early 19th century. Despite his very French name, it would appear that he worked for some time in Germany, as his Opus 2, 3 and 4 were all published in Hamburg. Opus 2, which includes this Trio, Op. 2 No. 2 for two flutes and bassoon, can be assigned a tentative publications date of 1810. There are three Trios in Opus 2, Opus 3 consists of three Duos Concertants for flute and violin, and Opus 4 contains three Duos for two violins. The rest of Duval’s output includes three Quartets published in Brussels and a further Hamburg publication for voice and piano with the delightful title: Femmes sensibles écoutent le ramage – which means sensitive women listening to birdsong. The source for this edition of Trio Op. 2 No. 2 is the copy held in the British Library (shelf mark g.693.) The music was typeset by C.M.M. and F.H. Nex and replaces PP563. The set includes both score and three parts.
