Description
H. A. Hoffmann (1770-1842) was a violinist active mostly in Mainz and Frankfort. He wrote at least eight Duos, Opus 5 and Opus 6.
Duo No. 1 in C Major has a sonata form first movement and a Rondo second movement marked Allegro. There is no slow movement.
Duo No. 2 in A Minor has a sonata form first movement, a Larghetto second movement and a Rondo third movement marked Allegro con moto.
Duo No. 3 in E-flat Major has a sonata form first movement and a Rondo second movement marked Allegro con moto. There is no slow movement.
These duos are challenging but rewarding for both violinist and cellist.
