Not here, but I have a recording of Op.18, the whole set, on 2 CDs, by The
Smithson String Quartet that played at the Smithsonian.  The quartet is
made up of Jaap Schroeder, Marilyhn McDonald, Judson Griffin, and Kenneth
Slowik.  I think it's a fine recording (Harmonia Mundi) but I think it's
been deleted, unfortunately.  Might find it at used CD shops though.

I also have the 2 book sheet-music set for 4 hands and the transcription is
wonderful!  Highly recommended for haus-musik types.
