Trio Sonata - written in 3 parts, two upper parts one bass and usually performed with a keyboard continuo. (The basso continuo is usually made up of two parts, cello, bass viol or keyboard instruments, therefore 4 musicians are usually involved!)
Instruments: violins (or recorders, flute or oboe) plus continuo.
The continuo part was played by harpsichord (filling in the harmonies) sometimes with cello playing the bassline - so there were often four players, not three.
