This study score of Franz Schubert's complete string trios (violin, viola, and cello) draws its text from the New Schubert Edition. It also includes Schubert's very first essay in the genre, which resurfaced in 1997: the trio draft in B-flat major, D 111A (1814). Besides this draft, two other trios in B-flat major written shortly afterward have survived: D 471 and D 581. The first is also a fragment as it breaks off at the 39th measure of the second movement.

D 581 is preserved in two versions, the first based on the autograph score, the second on a set of parts that Schubert meticulously prepared and revised. Both versions provide useful alternative performance options that differ significantly in form, tempo, articulation, and dynamics.

• All of Schubert's trios
• All drafts and alternative versions for the first time
