The Serenade Op.57 opens with a prelude, a rather serious and reflective movement. The second movement is a light and humorous scherzo. The third, Canzone, has lovely cantabile melodies for oboe and bassoon with a double-bass solo. The work closes with an exhilarating ballet, featuring American dance rhythms with rather Stravinsky-like treatment. It was recorded by the London Baroque Ensemble with Karl Haas, to whom it is dedicated.
