Pablo Casals & Mieczyslaw Horszowski (1939).String Quintet No.2 in B-flat major, Op.Sonata for Piano and Cello in G minor, op.5/2 Media Review / Comparison.12 Fugues for String Quartet, MWV R 1-17.String Quartet No.5 in E-flat major, Op.44 No.3.String Quartet No.4 in E minor, Op.44 No.2.String Quartet No.3 in D major, Op.44 No.1.String Quartet No.1 in E-flat major, Op.12.The 1836 date is the first confirmed public performance after publication. This might have prompted a memorial concert in which the work was premiered. Ritz, who owned the manuscript and copied the manuscript parts, died only a few weeks before (January 23). The public premiere could have taken place on March 17, 1832. If not October 16 it would have been performed later in the Autumn of 1825. *The private premiere might have taken place on day after the dedication (October 16, 1825) since Eduard Ritz's 23rd birthday was October 17 and concerts were regularly given at the Mendelssohn house on Sundays. Allegro leggierissimo (G minor, 241 bars)
