| Extra Information | Spohr withdrew this quartet (and the previous one, Op.155 in Eb) from publication about a year after the date of composition, leaving it in manuscript until the 21st century. Opus number 157 assigned by Hans Glenewinkel in study of Spohr's chamber music in 1912. |
An (earlier?) manuscript version exists, as with Op.155, but fewer details are available as to the differences between them.
