The popularity of the lute in the Renaissance and Baroque periods continued during the early years of Haydn's life. By this time it usually had thirteen courses (twenty-four strings arranged in pairs with the top two courses being single) and it was still appreciated among the European aristocracy. It is therefore not surprising to find four works for lute and strings by Joseph Haydn in two manuscript sources from the middle of the 18th century. Three of these are well known in versions for string quartet (Op.1 No.1, Op.1 No,6 and Op.2 No.2) whereas the Sonata a 3 in F major has not survived in any other form.
