In 1775 Joseph Haydn wrote five divertimenti for ' barytone ' (a kind of viola da gamba with a great number of strings), two horns, and swings. The Divertimento in G is the third of these, with the barytone part arranged for flute by Haydn himself. It has been edited by Karl Haas , and is in three movements: Adagio, Allegro, and Presto.
