Haydn’s String Quartet op.42 is full of genius and wit, showing Haydn at his best.  Maestro Eduardo Fernández has transcribed the work for the Fernández-Fukuda duo, in an approach similar to the guitar duos of Giuliani and Carulli.  The work, apart from being transposed to E minor, has not been modified by a single note.  All the energy and joy of the original has been retained.  The work has a Russian flavor and the fugal finale (4th movement) is particularly enjoyable.  An excellent addition to the duo repertoire.
