Friedrich Kaempfer - Gedenklied in E major [with score]

Written on the 15th of June, 1809. Last year, I uploaded a realization of Kaempfer's second string quartet, as a way of digitally preserving the long-lost music of a fine composer. Recently, I received photos of the manuscript for Gedenklied, which had been torn into three pieces, and had to be pieced together. In the margines, Kaempfer writes that he completed this work in one night following the memorial service for the late Franz Joseph Haydn, who died in May that year. While Kaempfer never lived in Vienna (that we know of), he occasionally traded letters with Haydn, and considered him a good friend. Whether Haydn held similar sentiment toward Kaempfer is doubtful.
