Talk:Felice Giardini

Giardini trios and questionable predominance of the trio

As noted on the page for Mozart's string trio, also, the string trio that would have predominated before Mozart's one complete effort in the genre was the 2-violin (and viola or bass) trio that Boccherini wrote so many of, not the violin-viola-cello trio that Wenzel Pichl wrote perhaps the first substantial example of and which only later became the norm. Pleyel is a composer of a later generation, a pupil of Haydn, wrote his many quartets and trios (and piano trios and duos and...) in the last quarter of the century... poor example.

Variant name forms

In hymnals, which are pretty much the only place you'll find his music anymore, more often than not his name is given as "Felice de' Giardini"; I created a redirect to accommodate this, but I think it should probably be mentioned in the first line of the article, too. I notice that the Oxford DNB article (linked to in this article) bizarrely gives the name as '"Giardini [Degiardino], Felice" (note not only the initial De but the final o!]. --Haruo (talk) 19:23, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
