Trio in Eb, Br II:29 Click to Listen, [3:30]
In unfailingly cheerful style, Krebs' first movement builds on parallel thirds and ornaments in the manuals, with the usual bouncing bass line in the pedal. The second movement, Vivace, in 3/8 meter, flows out of the first and relies on a repeated note motive which sometimes appears in the pedal, alternating with extensive sequences of arpeggiation on the manual, supported by a pedal downbeat. The upper two voices are rendered on Manual 1, which required considerable adjustment for overlapping notes, and the pedal part was played an octave higher on Manual II (itself an octave lower). Kirnberger III Temperament, no added reverberation. Instrument: 3-stop Harpsichord built by Martin Bezemer Eindhoven, 1981 - Samples by Hauptwerk.nl
