String quartet in E flat major from 1885 is one of the earliest by Jean Sibelius to be preserved intact. It was written between his school years in Hämeenlinna and his move to Helsinki. It is cheerful and cast in a Viennese classical mould, reminiscent of Haydn. It does, however, contain signs of the composer's budding originality and youthful romanticism.

This product is the full score of the quartet. The set of parts is available (product number 9790550091627).
