Random information on the term “TRIO”:

In music, a trio (from the Italian) is an either 1) ensemble of three instruments or voices, 2) a composition for three performers or three musical parts, or 3.) the middle section (having only a historical connection to a subgroup of three instruments) of a ternary form.

In general, “trio” denotes a group of three solo instruments or voices (Randel 2003). The term is also used to describe a composition for such a group. The most common types of such compositions are the “piano trio”—piano, violin and cello—and the “string trio”—violin, viola and cello (Schwandt 2001). In vocal music with or without accompaniment, the term terzet is sometimes preferred to “trio” (McClymonds, Cook, and Budden 1992).

In the 17th and early 18th century musical genre trio sonata two melodic instruments are accompanied by a basso continuo, making three parts in all. Because the basso continuo is usually played by two instruments (typically a cello or bass viol and a keyboard instrument such as the harpsichord), performances of trio sonatas typically involve four musicians. However there are also examples for a single performer (Bach’s organ “Sonatas or Trios”, BWV 525–30 for two hands and feet) and well as two (the same composer’s sonatas for violin, viola da gamba, and [Flute Sonata in B minor, BWV 1030|flute]], in which the harpsichordist’s right hand has a melodic role).
