The previously unpublished Two Pieces was released to mark the 2013 centenary of the Benjamin Britten’s birth, who founded the publisher Faber Music. These trios were written in late 1929, after Britten composed the Rhapsody For String Quartet (March 1929). This edition was edited by David Matthews, who spent three years as an assistant to Benjamin Britten at Aldeburgh in the late 1960’s.
