About

‘Trio sonata ; music in three voices or solo parts ‘ Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1768

The model with two soloists and basso continuo was doubtless most frequently employed. But, as a genre defined first and foremost as polyphonic, we should not be surprised to see the same trio sonata presented with different instrumental groupings.
 
Counterpoint and flowing polyphony were raised to their zenith by Johann Sebastian Bach in such a way that instrumentation becomes almost immaterial. 
 
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach retains a certain contrapuntal denseness, placed at the service of an instrumental style sometimes reminiscent of Italian concertante writing.
 
Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach concentrates on the melodic line, with the continuo assuming more of a harmonic function, in a style that makes room for fantasy and sensibility or Empfindsamkeit.
