Roman Hoffstetter (1742-1814): "Haydn's Serenade" (Andante Cantabile from String Quartet in F major)
Attributed to Joseph Haydn, Op. 3 No. 5, Hob.III:17
Arranged for two mandolins by Joh. B. Kok
This is a famous classical string quartet movement, widely attributed to Joseph Haydn but now considered to have been written by his contemporary (and imitator) Roman Hoffstetter.
This arrangement for two mandolins is by Johan B. Kok (see attached). I'm playing it as a duet between my Ceccherini Neapolitan bowlback on melody and a Gelas-type French mandolin playing the arpeggio accompaniment.
