Yup.

The 2nd string quartet was found after Moeran's death (although an early
list made by Moeran lists 4 string quartets) and published. It's not
considered an official part of the canon, although I think it just as
wonderful as the a-minor. Chandos has provided only a shameful 40 minutes
worth of music, and although I bought both discs, I did get the Chandos
from Berkshire Record Outlet, so I got a break on price.
