	Quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A string quartet is a form of instrumentation, in Western music tradition, that consists of two violins, a viola, and a cello playing a multi-movement musical composition utilizing the sonata form.
		The 'quartet' is a type of chamber music, which began in the 18th century when public concert-giving began, and has continued to the present day.
		The quartet lineup is very common in rock music, usually, but not always, consisting of two guitars, a bass guitar, and a drum kit.

	The Ames Piano Quartet
		The piano quartet heard November 7 on Saint Paul Sunday was the first official work - Opus 1 - of one of the most gifted Czech composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the composer who, even in his own lifetime, was hailed as the successor to the great Antonín Dvorák.
		Josef Suk was born in Krecovice in 1874 and entered the Prague Conservatory in 1885 to study violin and composition, and his piano quartet was a piece written as his examination composition in 1891.
		His early compositions, such as the Opus 1 piano quartet, were written in a sensuous Romantic style, and much of his most loved works (his Serenade for Strings, a number of songs and the beautiful incidental music for Raduz and Mahulena, for example) come from this early period.

	PRIMROSE PIANO QUARTET (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		Of quartets and quintets, his opinion was that the addition of a viola or viola with second violin simplified the task by rendering the string complement self-sufficient.
		The Piano Quartet in E minor, first heard at the Aeolian Hall on 6 December 1904 with the composer as pianist, originated in an early quintet for piano and wind instruments, but seems to have undergone surprisingly little transformation of material in the process of finding its enduring form.
		Conversely, the Piano Quartet was to re-emerge in concertante dress as the Saga Fragment for piano and orchestra of 1932, its dedicatee then being Bax’s mistress, the pianist Harriet Cohen.

	Piano Quartet KV 478, by W. A. Mozart (1756-1791) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		The Piano Quartet in G Minor was the first to be written (Mozart begun it in July 1785, and finished it on October, 16th 1785), followed by the Piano Quartet in E-flat major KV 493 (June, 3rd 1786).
		However, the quartet KV 478 did not achieve enough success to continue Hoffmeister's plan with the publication of KV 493: the audience thought the music was too much complex and difficult.
		One must remember that at Mozart's time the piano quartet was considered a lighter genre than the string quartet, and was supposed to be performed by amateurs rather than professional musicians.

	Wigmore Hall recital of Fidelio Piano Quartet
		The Fidelio Piano Quartet is made up the violinist Tamás András from Hungary, the violist Maya Rasooly from Israel, the cellist Gemma Rosefield from England and the pianist Inon Barnatan, also from Israel.
		On this occasion, the quartet brought to light the many qualities of the music, and such was their lyricism in the Andante cantabile that one was led to wish that they would quite simply play it again.
		As for the Brahms quartet, this was the moment when the instrumentalists were able to display their individual qualities, at the same time melding into the whole.

	Sebastian Huydts - Quintet for Saxophone Quartet and Piano
		The Quintet for Saxophones and Piano was written in late 1992 at the request of the Syrinx Saxophone quartet in Amsterdam.
		The first performance was given in January 1993 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam with the Syrinx Saxophone Quartet and the composer at the piano.
		It is probably no overstatement to claim that the saxophone quartet is for the wind instruments what the string quartet is for the stringed instruments.

	CD Baby: GARTH NEWEL PIANO QUARTET: Teresa Ling, violin; Evelyn Grau, viola; Tobias Werner, cello; Peter Henderson, ...
		Today, we recognize that Mozart's G-minor Piano Quartet is a powerful work that demonstrates its composer's mastery of the Classical ideal in chamber music ("a conversation among equals") while exploiting the sonic contrast between the piano and the string trio in the music's texture.
		The piano is treated essentially as a melodic instrument throughout this movement, thus evoking the genre of the string quartet.
		The Quartet's third, broadly melodic slow movement in E-flat major (which, given the tempo marking Andante con moto, is not intended to be lugubrious) is notable for its delightful central section, a "march" in ¾ time.

	Mozart Piano Quartet, Dvorak: Piano Quartets - www.smh.com.au
		His two Piano Quartets are signposts on this conservative turn, the first coming in 1875, after his Wagnerian period - what Dvorak called his "mad period" - the second 14 years later, when he was turning to looser forms and descriptive pieces.
		These recordings by the Mozart Piano Quartet (comprising two Australians now working in Europe, pianist Tamara Cislowska and violinist Natalie Chee, together with Germans Hartmut Rohde and Peter Horr) are bright, coloured and spacious, with the feeling of air around the sound and room for chords to resonate.
		The first quartet, Opus 23, dwells on Dvorak's characteristic mixture of major and minor, moving from geniality to wistfulness and unifying the whole with a classical interplay of motives so that, for example, the closing theme of the first movement is drawn from an inversion of the first.

	Sebastian Huydts - Piano Quartet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		The Quartet for Violin, Viola, Violoncello and Piano was written in 2002 at the request of the Rembrandt Chamber players.
		Each instrument picks up on the main melody, gives its commentary, supported by striking harmonies in the piano which function as the pillars upon which the work is built.
		The third movement, perhaps the darkest of all the movements, delves into the depths of atmospheric writing: A nocturnal mood dominates, highlighted by extensive use of harmonics in the piano and soft, complex and dense harmonies, developing towards a climactic open string sonority.

	CHAMBER MUSIC REVIEW: Worthy Debut By Lisa Hirsch (California Piano Quartet, Kay Stern, Benjamin Simon, Dana Putnam ...
		The quartet has a bravura piano part that wouldn't be out of place in a piano concerto, which Schwartz played with suitable dash and sparkle.
		Its turbulence mirrors the composer's emotional state, from the stormy and wrenching opening movement to the powerhouse Scherzo (with its brief, startling, moments of tranquility), to the repose of the andante and the driving obsessiveness of the Allegro comodo finale.
		The California Piano Quartet met every demand of these complex and challenging pieces at the highest possible level, playing with tremendous command and commitment and drawing the audience deeply and completely into the music.

	William Walton: Piano & String Quartets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-09)
		The Maggini Quartet have the sense to maintain a steady pulse throughout work, a choice that allows them to avoid an abrupt transition in the first movement when the development breaks into a fugue.
		The Piano Quartet (published in 1924) is an earlier work, less emotionally engaging than the String Quartet, but full of élan and inventiveness.
		Where the String Quartet sounds resigned, the Piano Quartet's slow movement is a quiet reverie reminiscent of Fauré or Ravel.
