Dvořák's string quartet number 2 in Bflat major B.17 was probably composed in 1869, early in his compositional career. It received its 1st performance in private by the Ondricek Quartet, Prague, 16/11/1932. It is of over three quarters of an hour's duration, making it Dvorak's second longest chamber work.[1][2][3]
