Recorded on a Hungaroton CD (Auer Quartet, 1997), runs 26:41; Hungaroton LP (1962 Hungarian Radio recording) released in 1985, Weiner Quartet, 26:59 or so; an earlier LP (1961), same ensemble (or string orchestra recording- unclear?), timing about 26:35 (see description of mp3 issue of this recording) ; so generally fairly consistently about 26 minutes so far (25 for the live recording on YouTube.)

Small full score published in 1924 by Wiener Philharmonischer Verlag. See Monatsbericht (1924), p.53.
