Work comment

What is confusing, is the fact that Wallner refers to the String quartet in E-flat major as no. 6, albeit it being printed as no. 5, and the 'unfinished' string quartet in A major as no. 7, albeit printed as no. 6, wheras the section of the quartet in A major 'no. 7' cited on p. 48 cannot be found in the printed no. 6! "Sometimes even good Homer nods off"?

However, now I have the explanation: Quartet no. 5 in F major was never printed, so, Quartets nos. 6 and 7 were printed as no. 5 and 6, respectively! The Quartet in F major exists in manuscript, only!
