Ensemble for Violin, Violin, Cello?

I'm looking for a score written for two violins and a cello. My quartet's violist quit, and violists are very hard to come by, so I am resorting to finding a score for just the instruments we have. I would prefer if the score was on a free online database, but if it costs, that's fine. An example I've been looking at is Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 Violins and Cello in D RV565, Op.3, No.11 (from 'L'estro armonico'). I don't know about this one because I'm unsure of how it will sound because we don't have a ripieno group like there is in the recording. Also, it should be something in the baroque or classical period. Again, it's fine if you can't find anything that meets those conditions. Thanks.

    Firstly, just a little grammar lesson: You will have to write (and say) "My pal and I". You would not say "Me demands a well solo...", might you? Here are probably the most primary violin/cello duos. Some of them are rather elaborate, so you're going to to perform a little study to discover what fits you nice. Good success! Beethoven – three Duets, WoO 27 Bréval – 6 Airs varies, Op nine Godard – Aubade, Op 133 Handel/Halvorsen – Passacaglia (very elaborate) Honegger – Sonatina Kodály – Duo, Op 7 (VERY elaborate) Ravel – Sonata (beautiful elaborate) Erwin Schulhoff - Duo (elaborate) Telemann – 12 Duos Villa-Lobos – two Chôros bis
