Wentzel 2001 lists Jascha Brodsky (1st violin) and Charles Jaffe (2nd violin), both of whom joined the Quartet later in the 1930s, i.e. after this performance.
Heyman 1992
Rose Bampton, mezzo-soprano.
Heyman 1992 notes these details and indicates the first public performance, presumably meaning outside the school environment of the Curtis Institute of Music, to have taken place on 1933-03-05 in New York with Rose Bampton and the New York Art Quartet.
Original version
No quartet performers are listed for this premiere.
Final version
The first performance of the final version of the Quartet is said to have been given by the Budapest Quartet in Washington DC in January 1943. We have not traced a performance there and then by that group, nor for any month and year in Washington for which that might be a mistake. The Washington Post of May 23 and 25, 1943 announced a performance by the Budapest Quartet that included the Barber Quartet in Washington on May 28.
