Work comment

It may seem somewhat confusing that Wallner has indicated the string quartet in E-flat major as no. 6 albeit it was printed as no. 5, and the 'unfinished' string quartet in A major as no. 7, albeit printed as no. 6. The reason seems to be that no. 5 in F major was never printed (it is available as a manuscript, only), and the quartets in E-flat major and A major were printed as nos. 5 and 6, respectively.
