String Quartet no. 2 in B flat major, B.17
The String Quartet No. 2 in B♭ major, B. 17, was probably composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1869, early in his compositional career. It was one of three (together with Nos. 3, and 4) which Dvořák later believed he had destroyed after he had disposed of the scores.
