Since 1791, the Berlin (State) libraries and the Schwerin State Library have had the String Quartets Op. 1 by Johann Matthias Sperger (1750–1812) in their collections – including an original printed edition. Unfortunately, they went unnoticed until the first modern per- formance in 1990 by the ensemble “Musica Instrumentalis Schwerin” in collaboration with musicologist Stefan Fischer. Since then they have been presented in concert and released on CD by the string quartet of the Kammerakademie Potsdam: Peter Rainer (1st violin), Laura Rajanen (2nd violin), Christoph Starke (viola) and Jan-Peter Kuschel (violoncello). In a stroke of foresight, the proactive publisher Reinhard Wulfhorst of Schwerin has produced beautifully printed parts for the occasion.
