Answering my own post again.  Hate it when that happens.

No one wrote back.  So I did what I should have done in the first place.
On May 19, I E-mailed the BBC, asking the same question.

Just today, the BBC wrote back with the information that the music to
"Walden on Villains" was the "Mozart String Quartet in C Major." No K.
number was given.  It sure didn't sound like Mozart to me.  This only makes
me feel worse that the American String Quartet's Mozart cycle has not been
issued as single discs yet; as of today, you can buy volumes 5 and 6 only
as part of a box.  Those of us who have been supporting this series for the
past five years just have to gut it, I guess.
