Terzetto for two violins and viola played by Isolde Menges (violin), Beatrice Carrelle (violin), and Jean Stewart (viola)
Dvorak's Terzetto for two violins and viola was written early in 1887. when the composer was in his forty-sixth year, for three of his friends who met regularly to make music for their own pleasure. It is a little masterpiece of its kind, full of lyrical charm. The last movement is a set of little variations on an old-fashioned theme.
