Abstract

Drawing attention to a new source, this article discusses the instrumental trios of the important and prolific French wind player and composer James Paisible (c.1656-1721), resident in London for most of his career. It places them in the context of the French repertory of suites for two treble instruments and bass, and investigates the occasionally complex relationship with versions in other instrumental scorings. The thematic catalogue at the end of the article lists the 169 trios by Paisible in the three main sources.
