In one of the lexika of the end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th
century there is a remark, that Johann Kropfgans wrote 32 lute trios,
but I cannot say at the moment, in which one it is written.
We only have some complete trios in Brusseles and in Berlin.
In Brusseles there probably are some even written by himself.
Best regards

12 Trios lute, violin âcello in B-Br Ms II 4088. Also the Pichler
piece in Ms II 4087 (viii) according to Tim Crawford.

Also listed with complete titles in Boetticher's RISM VII inventory,
pp. 62-4. These were from the Fétis collection and may have been
acquired from the Breitkopf auction of 1832 (can't find my notes). The
catalogue is extremely rare, but is about 1 ½ inches thick.***
Breitkopf decided to empty their warehouse of outmoded music. What a
treasure!! Unique copies of some of the Bach lute pieces were among
the offering.

Think of the galant lute trio like a piano trio... You get the idea ;-)

Betreff: [LUTE] Johann Kropfgans
Dear Roland,
Iââ¬â¢m afraid I donââ¬â¢t know about these trios by Johann
Kropfgans, but I
would very much like to know more about them. I see from a quick search
on the internet that Kropfgans wrote chamber music for the lute, violin
and cello, including one in C minor, but I see no evidence of lute
trios. It is possible that Lutz Kirchhof made his own lute trio
arrangements from those chamber music pieces, but Iââ¬â¢m only
guessing.
Hopefully youââ¬â¢ll be able to find out more.
Best wishes,
Stewart.
