JAVS Fall 2012

interesting orchestral writing, relishing some warm-sounding divisi lower strings and nice woodwind doublings. The G-major work is a de facto Double Concerto, and its important cello obbligato is brilliantly taken by Riitta Pesola. Whoever wrote them, these concertos deserve to be widely taken up. Poor Hoffstetter! At least he can take consolation in having written the string quartets previously known as Haydn’s Op. 3!
