| Extra Information
|
Does the finale begin in D minor? Feels like a time to seek out or retypeset (from the parts) the score of at least the finale, to check. Herbeck's starting the quartet in F major and ending it in D minor/major was not unprecedented but by no means at all -usual- in by-1864! - ELS
