2Welcome to Music.SE! I assume you mean "trio" as in a "trio sonata"?– Richard ♦Aug 1, 2022 at 16:38

@Richard another possibility would be a contrasting, more lightly orchestrated middle section of a larger movement.– phoogAug 1, 2022 at 16:54

@phoog Very true! I was debating with myself if that was more Classical than Baroque.– Richard ♦Aug 1, 2022 at 17:32

2Welcome! I'm afraid you'll need to explain a little more. "Trio" can have a few meanings, and they don't directly define styles: 1) a piece for three players; 2) a baroque "trio sonata," which says more about how the parts are put together, in a "melody/bass/chords" texture; or 3) a "trio" section of a "minuet-and-trio," which at first used fewer players but eventually applied the word to a formal section regardless of how many people play.– Andy BonnerAug 1, 2022 at 17:41

@AndyBonner what does "trio sonata" say about a baroque piece beyond that it is for two solo instruments plus b.c.?– phoogAug 1, 2022 at 17:48
