Time
and place of composition unknown. As all parts have
been written down in the treble clef there is a
good reason to suspect that it is either a very early
composition or that it was conceived in the lunatic
asylum. The musical quality of this work is not too
good either.
It is, however, remarkable that some almost exact passages
can also be found in the Scene
from Schillers "Glocke" ("The Bell") in C major
resp. the Symphony for String
Orchestra in A-flat major. Whether these are quotations
from both works or these passages have their origin
in this movement for string quartet remains unclear
for the time being.

score (ÖNB Mus. Hs. 28.403) as well as
the autograph part of the first violin (ÖNB Mus. Hs.
28.404).
