thanks in turn for pointing it out. I am really getting to like this composer. :)

Odd, odd, though. I thought "no.4" was the C major.
Even if the manuscripts are undated, I wonder me if he left any indications in his correspondence ("I am writing a quartet in B minor!"... nah, we couldn't be so lucky. It does happen, I know. :) ... and then the date on the letter gets smudged. *g*)

(That's why I like, better than HMB etc. but in tandem with such tools, collections- often at universities nowadays, of a composer's manuscripts, correspondence, etc. together with, sometimes online "finding aids".  Can be very useful, those- when one can find them for a particular composer, or librettist, ... )

Note!
Lindblad collection exists, but finding aid etc. has not yet been digitized. So, perhaps watch this (http://www.muslib.se/hand/archives.html) space. Also, for  questions regarding composers in that list (see that URL)... those links may be useful.

Oh, that explains it. I was thinking of F. Ludvig Norman's quartet no.4 in C. (Well, I like both composers' chamber music, but still, that was a -very- silly mistake for me to make.) According to SMDB (http://smdb.kb.se/catalog/id/001898661) the cellist's surname is Tidstrand (and yes, B minor, 1957, are right, etc.) :)
