The Trio (No. 1) in A minor for Violin, Viola, and Piano, Op. 105 is erroneously listed as a Duo for Violin and Viola.

Re: Philipp Scharwenka Trio, Op. 105
as it was published as "Duo for Violin and Viola"- see one of the scores- howso "erroneously"? It's noted on the page that it's also known as a trio. Our only requirement is that we try to find out, if possible, what the first edition name was or even better the composer's name for the piece. (And our guideline, though not exactly rule, is that our pages are named by original names, not by what the name has since become 
)
Here, the copy that says "Trio" is a Volksausgabe 1910 reprint (or retypeset) (V.A. 3293, so ca.1910 from the Breitkopf table), whereas the one that says "Duo" is probably closer to the 1898 first edition...

Re: Philipp Scharwenka Trio, Op. 105
btw "Duo for a and b with piano accompaniment" seems to have been fairly standard nomenclature in the 19th century for a trio - I'm guessing especially one in which the piano was more an accompanist. You can find quite a few "duos" from that time with piano accompaniment that are actually by modern standards trios in the sense that there are 3 instruments... (most of them I've found are operatic fantasies, iirc, but the point holds. Also, don't deprecate -that- genre, _certainly_ not so much as to ignore it- it's fun and some creative stuff has been done therein. Especially but not only by Liszt...)
