| Extra Information | In 1787 the work was revised for string quartet String_Quartets,_Op.51_(Haydn,_Joseph).
According to Wikipedia, this version has come under suspicion for authenticity, but Grove Music doesn't seem to consider it doubtful. Even later, a version for piano was done – not by Haydn but of which Haydn approved. |
