Last week I tried to get Haydn's string quartet Hob III:17 (= op.3 No.5)
(Serenade) by the Kodaly Quartet. I was astonished, because it is not
available although Naxos announced to complete the cycle. A Naxos speaker
told me: "Op.3 No.5 is a spurius Haydn work, indeed are all six of the
op.3 quartets. They are thought to be by R. R. Hoffstetter." As the
Kodaly Quartet will not record the quartet No. e 7, I would be pleased
at your recommendations.
