The quartets are listed as K Anh.210-213, not 214. The quartets have now been attributed to the Saxon composer Joseph Schuster (1748-1812).Themes to the C Major quartet were discovered by the researcher Richard Englander among Schuster's manuscripts. The quartet itself was conserved in the music archives of the Antonian Chappel of Padua. For a complete description of how and why the quartets have been attributed to Schuster, see the jacket notes by Paolo Cattelan to the Pan Classic CD 10379 on which all six of Schuster's quartets, these four plus two others, were recorded.
