Johann Christoph Pepusch is mostly remembered as the creator of The Beggar's Opera, a socio-critical work that enjoyed a sensational success when first performed in London in 1728 and that was the model on which, two hundred years later, the no-less successful Dreigroschenoper by Kurt Weill and Bert Brecht was based. His rich oeuvre did by no means limit itself to music for the stage but included works for almost all the vocal and instrumental genres. With the present trio sonata, the distinguished contrapuntalist demonstrates his art in the realm of chamber music. In accordance with the generous instrumentation practice of the time, the violin may be replaced by an oboe and the viola da gamba by a viola.
