This Quartet in E minor, published here for the first time, is based on a manuscript copy held by the Berlin State Library – Prussian Cultural Heritage, Music Department with the Mendelssohn Archive. In a list of his works that Schneider compiled in 1807 for Gerber's "Neues historisch-biographisches Lexikon der Tonkünstler," he states that he had composed several quartets for this scoring – the present work may well have been among them.
