Tune of the Day: Haydn's Serenade
from String Quartet in F major, Op. 3, No. 5
This well-known string quartet, like many others, was long thought to be by Franz Joseph Haydn, but is now attributed to another scholar: Roman Hoffstetter, a Benedictine monk who admired the famous Austrian composer almost to the point of imitation.
