Trio in D Major (Score and Parts) ** By Christoph Schaffrath (1709-1763) ** Arranged by Hugo Ruf. Il Flauto Traverso (Flute Library). 38 pages. Schott Music #FTR170. Published by Schott Music.

Schaffrath was one of the circle of musicians and composers gathered about the music-loving Frederic II of Prussia. As early as 1734 the Crown Prince mentioned his name as a member of the Ruppin orchestra. Schaffrath may be singled out as one of the most interesting and innovative composers of the Berlin circle.

The trio appears in print for the first time in this edition. For flute, violoncello (viola da gamba) and basso continuo.
