| EDVR vol. 2: The Haydn (Hayden) Quartet version was used on 16105 until replaced by a new recording of the same selection by the Peerless Quartet, recorded 10/29/1918 (B-22299-2). However, both general and alphabetical catalogs, and thus presumably the record labels, continued to credit the Hayden Quartet as the artists through 1925, when the record was dropped from the catalogs. |
| Also recorded as [PM-]87, [PM-]3178, and B-22299. |
| EDVR vol. 2 lists take date for takes 6 and 7 as 3/17/1905 and for takes 8-10 as 3/8/1906. Take 5 issue from collector report. |
| EDVR vol. 2 lists take place for Takes 11 - 13 as Camden. |
