I:-.  II:577  III:141

The third movement is written in two equivalent forms. The versions diverge at measure 155. The following scheme will produce a consistent numbering for the two versions: Version I] Coda sign at 155--number in the conventional manner. Version II] First ending at 155. Number the measures in this first ending and skip the second ending. Continue at 'piu vivo - 2/4' with measure 167 (skipping first endings). This section ends with measure 240. now go back to the second ending you skipped before and start with 241. The total should be 262, as in the other edition.

This quartet was extensively revised by the composer, with many bars cut. The measure number count here is for the revised work. There do exist parts for the original work In the revised parts, the cuts have been indicated by Durand by printing a fine grid over the excised bars. Do not number the cut measures in the revised work. The revised score has the bars truly excised rather than crossed out, and can simply be numbered as it comes.
