I don't know the Zemlinskys (yet, only the 1st), but I know the Schonberg
quartet.  I beleive the missing 'e' is caused by the problem of typing the
o-umlaut on the computer (or the typewriter).  The Schonberg quartet is
a Dutch ensemble, the members are also members of the Schonberg ensemble
of Reinbert de Leeuw.  Both the Quartet and the Ensemble specialize in
performing the so called modern repertoire, from the second Viennese school
to Fernyhough.  The Quartet have recently recorded all Schonbergs string
quartets I beleive for Chandos.
