Liebes Manndel, wo ist's Bandel?
"Liebes Manndel, wo ist's Bandel?" ("Dearest husband, where's my hatband?"), otherwise known as "Das Bandel" is a terzet (song for three voices) with strings accompaniment composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, K. 441, with lyrics in the Viennese dialect. The vocal parts are designated as Constanze (soprano), Mozart (tenor) and Jacquin (bass).
The piece, possibly written in 1783, is humorous and light-hearted and owes its existence to an incident in which Constanze lost the ribbon for her hat. Gottfried von Jacquin, a friend, arrives and finds it. All three celebrate together.[1]
