Interesting but this is only the 2nd part to a quartet. I played with the url and was able to access the other parts.
Unfortunately, the Boston Public Library does not allow this long-time public domain music to be downloaded so it will never be played again unless you are extrodinarily determined. They believe that ink on paper is sufficient for music.
This is historically interesting and I would like to play around with it but it is not great music. There is not a single dynamic or expressive mark in the combined 600+ pages that I could find, not even a tempo mark. It is a shame they will not allow a pdf download.
