Joseph Küffner (1776-1856) was born in the Franconian-Bavarian city of Würzburg where his father was the court music director. Küffner's works for guitar, flute and viola - often entitled Serenade - number at least twenty-five. They have either three or four movements or are set in the form of a fantasy or a pot-pourri. This corpus of trios nodoubt belongs to the most prominent chamber music of the entire guitar repertoire: delightful, charming and cheerful music, full of good tunes andpopular dance forms.

Played by the Classico Terzetto Italiano, founded in 2005 by Ubaldo Rosso, Carlo De Martini and Francesco Biraghi, specializing in works for this unusual combination of instruments.
