	String quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The standard string quartet is widely seen as one of the most important forms in chamber music, with most major composers, from the late 18th century onwards, writing string quartets.
		A string quartet is a musical ensemble of four string instruments—usually two violins, a viola and cello—or a piece written to be performed by such a group.
		Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote 23 string quartets, of which the six he dedicated to Haydn (K. 387, 421, 428, 458, 464, 465, Opus 10) are often considered to be the pinnacle of the classical quartet form.

	Elements Quartet • about
		In contrast to some quartets, which form when their players are students, the four musicians of the Elements Quartet enjoyed successful individual careers in major international orchestras and distinguished chamber-music ensembles before their mutual love for the quartet sound brought them together.
		The quartet's repertoire ranges from popular masterpieces to neglected treasures, and from Baroque classics to newly commissioned works by today's most celebrated composers - an eclectic and expansive view of the quartet literature that is unified by the group's keen musicianship and its fresh insights into how chamber music can connect with today's listeners.
		The quartet received grants from the Arthur Judson Foundation and the National Orchestral Association for the commission of a new string quartet by noted New Jersey composer David Sampson.

	TUTA :: Muller: Quartet
		Quartet's opening directions calls for it to be performed in a "time-space" which starts in a parlor before the French Revolution and ends in a bunker after the Third World War.
		Merteuil decides quite young, she says, to "observe and reflect." In Quartet Valmont and Merteuil are in an ambiguous playground-theatre hell, constructed by themselves, and are coursing through time.
		Their time-machine of human manipulation is moving irreconcilably toward their extinction and they know it: eternally playing and replaying their story and fending off the terrible Void which yawns before them by "stuffing" it like a orifice-as they say-full of their conquests.

	Rosamunde Quartet
		The Amadeus Quartet was a major influence for me. I studied with them quite intensely for four years, also on pieces that are now part of the Rosamunde Quartet's repertoire, which is why it is sometimes difficult to bid farewell to old ideas and interpretations.
		The Rosamunde Quartet performed Beethoven's late (1826), seven-movement String Quartet in C Sharp Minor, op.131, (composed without pauses) in a nearly breathtakingly precise and transparent fashion.
		Secondly, during that time, the Guarneri Quartet became a musical beacon for me. I attended their concerts and was captivated by the particular sound quality they achieved.

	Live A Little: Sing In A Quartet!
		A quartet promotion night could be an icebreaker for those who are interested in quartetting but are too shy or unsure of themselves to pursue it.
		With these ideas in mind, try planning your chapter meetings and performances so that quartetting is encouraged and promoted, rather than just allowed to happen (or not, as the case may be).
		Provide each member with opportunities to enjoy being part of a small ensemble and to carry his own part in a quartet that sings the songs he loves to sing!

	Adolf Busch and the Busch Quartet
		Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the B flat quartet, with its kaleidoscopic changes of mood ranging from the angry to the fantastical, from the humorous to the sublime.
		Though all the members of the quartet were musicians of exceptional talent and profundity, the guiding spirit of the ensemble was Adolf Busch, a leader in the true sprit of the word.
		In 1945 the quartet was disbanded, due to Doktor's illness and Andreasson's other commitments and the post-war Busch Quartet with its new second violinist and violist made relatively few recordings.
