Good oh!
Good news. One or two of his str. quartets have been recorded before, but I don't think these were they, and after all Czerny wrote almost two dozen string quartets* (most or all in manuscript/never published until very recently...) Intrigued :)
*... ok, or so I assume from the number attached to one of them being "20" :)
Here are the ones I know about. The last two (d minor and e minor) have been recorded on the Czerny Rediscovered album. The notes on this new recording say Czerny wrote 7, so here are 6 of them. Any more details would be appreciated on composition or publication date. I have the Rediscovered CD - so I'll check to see if these are the same ones, unfortunately only 2 of the 4 may be world premieres (contrary to the sleeve note).
String Quartet in D 1851
String Quartet in C, 1849 in parts. is at Library of Congress 1849
String Quartet in a minor

An excerpt from the fourth movement of the A minor Quartet can be heard here:

Links like that usually break if the part with the "phpsessid" (et seq.) is kept, because it's a "sess[ion] id[entifier]".
No break in the link for me.....
My mistake! And nice sample.
(Enjoyed Czerny's A minor piano trio when I heard it at a Jupiter chamber concert in NYC a few months ago too. (Will be going to another, with music from WW2, in a few weeks...)
Enterprise that brings more of his underknown music is much appreciated :) )

Am I to assume the Tyberg symphony will be played?

Not by the Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players, it won't, unless, as with Beethoven's Eroica last I was there, they find a chamber arrangement of interest (almost contemporary with the work and uploaded to the Beethoven-Bonn website, in that case) to perform. The group is the followup group to the late Jens Nygaard's Jupiter Symphony, and follows his wishes that they not continue the orchestra (but they've continued his advocacy of unsung music, just for smaller forces.)
Unfortunately, no more Czerny from them this season (http://www.jupitersymphony.com/Calendar.htm), but still, works by Hans Huber (piano quintet Op.136, next week; also Gade and Mendelssohn), Ries (clarinet trio, + Beethoven and Dvorák - early April); the concert I'm going to isn't entirely about WW2- it's called "Despite Tyranny", with works by Meyerbeer, Adolf Busch, Erwin Schulhoff, Prokofiev and Shostakovich (on April 27). May 4 has a quintet by Thuille; etc. ...
There is more to this than meets the eye.

I should hope so... if music can be described by writing alone, why use music?

An interesting concept. One imagines what the writer is describing and creates his own music to it.
Tom :)
Czerny quartets and other works (recordings, not live) have been broadcast lately in a series on Concertzender.
