Part of the Op. 3 set, No. 5.

In 1965, the musicologist Alan Tyson (with H.C. Robbins Landon) published the finding that the entire set of six String Quartets long-admired as Haydn`s Op. 3, including the Andante cantabile of No. 5 in F Major known as Haydn`s Serenade, were actually by Roman Hoffstetter. Further discoveries have purported to establish Hoffstetter`s authorship of the first two of the six quartets, but not the other four.

1. Presto
2. Andante cantabile
3. Menuetto
4. Scherzando
