No quartet performers are listed for this premiere.
The program does not indicate this as the first performance. Cooper 1967 says that the first performance was in 1940. This is almost certainly the earliest. Hitchens 1996 gives the probably erroneous date 1941-11-02 and a performance by a different quartet in a different city.

Cooper 1967; Hitchens 1996
Hitchens 1996 gives the date 1961-04-30. The New York Public Library lists Frank Spinosa as the 2nd violinist in a recording in its Ross Lee Finney collection.
