Allegretto in C is a typical classical string trio with a fairly brisk and light setting for the theme to dance around. This work encapsulates all the idioms that made this type of work popular in the early classical period featuring terraced dynamics and ornaments carried through from the baroque, balanced phrasing, call and response from each instrument in turn, as well as that classically spicy and fleeting modulation to the parallel minor before returning to the home theme. This easy listening work takes a joyful theme through a journey that is quintessentially neo-classical.
