Interesting Facts

• The Ensemble: Trio Legrenzi is named after Giovanni Legrenzi, another prominent Venetian composer who was a major influence on the development of the late Baroque style.
• The Cover Art: The beautiful cover features "The Three Graces" (1786–7), an aquatint by Jean François Janinet after Pellegrini, held in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
• The Opus: Marcello's Op. 2 was originally published in 1712 and remains some of his most popular instrumental music due to its graceful transitions and lyrical flute lines.
