The extensive body of the work of Jan Vaclav Stamic (1717 - 1757) was being assembled before World War II, and other works were added to it after the war, based on copies of the destroyed originals. A number of symphonies, however, remain missing. There are 58 symphonies in existence and 10 orchestral trios, of which the first six were published in Paris in 1755, as Op. 1, under the title Six Sonates a trois parties concertantes. The trios, presented here in a version for chamber orchestra, can be located stylistically somewhere between chamber music and orchestral music, though it is classified among symphonic works (the sinfonie of Stamic's day). It comprises six compositions in sonata form, which have been preserved in the original versions as first published. Each trio consists of four movements, including a minuet and trio as the third movement, followed by a prestissimo finale. They are all in major keys and share stylistic purity, clarity of motif, concise compositional conception of the individual movements, as well as augmentation and emphasis of the second subject. Thanks to Stamic, too, the consistent inclusion of the minuet in the sonata form was also introduced into symphonic works of the 18th and 19th centuries, where it became firmly rooted.
