This trio is from an interesting eighteenth century lute-book now in the Cologne Stadtbibliothek, which includes compositions by Lauffensteiner, Weiss and others. The minuet to which belongs to unfortunately not amenable to transposition, but this seems insufficient reason not to include a delightful duet which stands well by itself. The key of C minor should not deter the less advanced player as the piece is technically straightforward.
