Apparently numbering here not affected by McEwen's having rejected his first 2 quartets - this one still described as quartet no.4 both on original printing and in current accountings, unlike the Biscay Quartet (published as no.8, later described by the composer as no.6) and Threnody (no.9/no.7) etc.
