| Discography | MusicBrainz (gives incorrect key A minor, as does Naxos on their recording, which is the only one (of at least 2 that exist) listed at MB. Work begins in E minor, first movement ends in E major, finale begins in G and ends in G major, but... sure!) |

| Extra Information | As noted at Wikipedia-nl this is something more like his 4th of 5 string quartets composed, even if his 2nd of 3 officially numbered. |
