Hofmann (1842-1902) found immediate success as a German composer for orchestra, piano, opera, and a variety of instruments. Though he received state honors and decorations, his style did not remain long in public favor.
This Serenade was commissioned in 1885 by the New York Philharmonic Club, an ensemble of German-trained musicians consisting of flutist Eugene Weiner, and a string quintet. It is quite appealing with a nice variety of tempi and thematic material, ending with the Hungarian folk style. - Hudba
Amazing! The 3. Movement is my favourite.
Delightful. Heinrich Hoffmann is always great fun.
I so enjoyed playing this - and your performance!
Bravo!

Why do people with coughs and colds insist on going to concerts of classical music ?
It's a fundamental misunderstanding to place the flutist in the center, conducting even, since the piece is unmistakeable entitled "for string orchestra and flute or solo sextet". It's a pity that there are no recordings of the orchestral version, as far as I can see. It's a chamber orchestra piece with the flute as only wind instrument.
Addition: I learn from the video description here the astonishing information that the work was comissioned by a sextet... Nevertheless, I think that the score makes clear that the flute his not handled as a soloist like in a concerto (even in a Mozart flute quartet the flutist wouldn't sit in the center but as part of the half-circle). I would love to do the experiment to perform it with 6-8 first violins... 3 cellos, 2 double basses, and the flute seated behind the string orchestra as "one-man-wind-section". With your well-weighted tempos it should work marvellous... Thanks for the information again.
Great performance (tempi, agogic) anyway!
