You can find this and many other wonderful selections and information at his website: https://satyr78curiosa.blogspot.com/. His blog has had to be redone because of EU laws and regulations. There are only a few new posts but he will be adding more as it goes. Part way down the right side of the page you can find all of his previous posts in an alphabetical list. Thanks to Alan for letting me use this movement for comparison. You can find his blog, Musical Musings at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG0WoFv1U7Djxq1acg04liw and his YouTube channel at winkle522000. He goes to a lot of trouble analyzing his postings on his blog. The "biography" of the Guarneri Quartet, "Con Brio", by Nat Brandt (the son-in-law of Boris Kroyt, its violist) reports that "In 1927 Boris joined the Guarneri Quartet. He was its violist for seven years, until it broke up suddenly during a tour of south America when the second violinist suffered a brain tumor and died after an operation." Brant states that the members of the 'German' Guarneri Quartet were "... Daniel Karpilovsky, first violin, Maurits Stromfeld, second violin; and Walter Lutz, cello. Karpilovsky, a native of St. Petersburg, was a student of Leopold Auer and had played first violin with the Imperial Russian Quartet. He eventually settled in the Hollywood, Calif., area. Stromfeld was a student of Adolph Rebner. Lutz, who was born in Cologne, had played in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra."
