The Paganini Quartet (Henri Temianka, Gustave Rosseels, Charles Foidart, Lucien Laporte) plays the finale of Beethoven's String Quartet No. 4, 1956.
A program from the first concert of the Paganini Quartet at the Library of Congress in 1946. The first three string quartets by Beethoven were performed.

The Paganini Quartet was an American string quartet founded by cellist Robert Maas and violinist Henri Temianka in 1946.[1][2] The quartet drew its name from the fact that all four of its instruments, made by Antonio Stradivari (1644–1737), had once been owned by the great Italian violinist and composer Niccolo Paganini (1782–1840).
