	Debussy String Quartet with Clarinetist Igor Begelman
		Mozart wrote the "Haydn" Quartets between 1782 and 1785, and he adopted the older composer's new way of writing for the four string instruments.
		When Haydn heard the last three quartets of the set would be dedicated to him, he commented to Leopold Mozart: "Before God and as an honest man, I tell you that your son is the greatest composer known to me either in person or in name.

	String quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although any combination of four string instruments can literally be called a "string quartet", in practice the term refers to a group consisting of two violins (the "first", which usually plays the melody line in the higher register of notes, and the "second" violin, which plays lower notes in harmony), one viola and one cello.
		Fanny Mendelssohn (1805–1847): A string quartet in E-flat (1834)
		Hermann Goetz (1840–1876): one string quartet in B-flat (1865-66)

	Grieg & Debussy
		Debussy came to think of the Norwegian master as "anti-French" because, in 1900, as a protest against the "Dreyfus Case", Grieg refused to allow his music to be played in France.
		Yet Debussy was aware of Norwegian folk music from an early age (as a child, he knew a Norwegian carpenter who used to sing folksongs) and he must certainly have given Grieg's music close attention, for there are echoes of the older composer in several of his earlier works.
		Debussy completed his String Quartet in February 1893, and it was premiered in December of that year in Paris by the quartet led by his friend, the great Belgian violinist Eugene Ysaÿe.

	University of Alberta String Quartet
		Although the quartet made a specialty of contemporary works, it also performed the traditional repertoire and was often joined by guest artists including violinist Zoltán Székely, clarinetist Jack Brymer, oboist Dayna Fisher, cellists Eric Wilson and Cheryl Mellott, and pianists Helmut Brauss, Isobel Moore Rolston, William Tritt, Robert Stangeland, and Robert Pounder.
		Kenneson retired from the quartet in 1982 due to illness, and Malcolm Tait was cellist for the quartet's final tour in Asia.
		It also performed quartets by Freedman, Pentland, Pépin, Schafer, Somers, and Archer, whose String Quartet No. 3 was written for the ensemble on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the University of Alberta.

	The Debussy Quartet - press release (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The Debussy Quartet played a one-movement piece Lekeu wrote when he was 17, before he left his native Belgium: "Molto adagio, sempre cantata doloroso." It sustains its 12-minute length fairly well, and is impressive for a composer of his age.
		The Quartet in E flat major by Edouard Lalo is a more mature work, but is lighter compositionally, in part because it was written in a different aesthetic world — more than 20 years earlier, when German weightiness had not yet affected French music.

		He wrote the String Quartet in G Minor in 1893, and it was first performed in December of that year.
		Debussy used fragments of melody in successive movements as a device for giving unity to the whole; he based the entire Quartet on a single theme that is plainly stated at the outset.

	Fanfaire: The Rossetti String Quartet in Concert
		The opening Mendelssohn Quartet in A minor was a curious mixture of whispered sensitivity bordering on caution, the players feeling their way around the theme of great yearning and pain with extreme awareness and often admirable constraint.
		Nina Bodnar - the first violinist of the quartet and for six years the concertmaster of the Saint Louis Symphony - has vivid articulation and is the soul of this clear and homogeneous quartet.
		The Brahms-like intensity of the four strong string artist, the Rossetti Quartet - with a prominent tone formation by the cellist discretely drew away attention from the fact that this was an early work.

	BSQ Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Amid the local spate of quartet concerts comprised of Haydn, Beethoven and fill-in-the-blank, a program in which the most familiar work was Debussy’s String Quartet deserves a citation for bravery.
		In Debussy’s String Quartet, the ensemble exploited the work’s ambiguities by blurring the distinction between melody and accompaniment.
		His Second Quartet is a much less brutal piece; the gut-wrenching dissonances and anguished, cut-and-paste expressionism of the First Quartet are tempered in the Second by gentler harmonies and a more fluid, organic structure.

	Bergonzi String Quartet - Reviews -- Fanfare
		The Bergonzi String Quartet (Glenn Basham and Tomasz Liebig, violins; Pamela McConnnell, viola; Ross Harbaugh, cello).
		Debussy's G-Minor Quartet is played with equal assurance in matters of style and technique.
		The acoustic is a bit dry, but it is refreshing to hear four instruments sound like a quartet rather than an orchestral section, as is the case on many chamber music recordings these days.

		Ravel dedicated the quartet to his teacher Fauré (yet another French master of chamber music, and a match for Ravel in compositional subtlety), but the older man didn't care for it.

	Greg Sandow -- Introducing String Quartets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Entire families used to play string instruments in those days, and it's easy to imagine an 18th century housewife calling out to her husband as he left for work: "On your way back, Hermann, buy a new string quartet for us and the girls."
		String quartets, first of all, are long-term propositions, just like the most successful bands.
		It's true -- the opening theme sings and soars like a bird, so they called this string quartet "the lark." Which might sound silly to us, but this was the 18th century, and in any case there's nothing silly about Haydn's score.

	INKPOT#59 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: Singapore Symphony Orchestra - 8 August 1998
		The Quartet ended in spirited fashion as the performers played boldly after their confidence was regained.
		The T'ang Quartet showed their eagerness to play for the home crowd by coming out with scores in hand after just one curtain call, playing Shostakovich's Polka (from Two Pieces for String Quartet, Op.80) and then the Andante from Mendelssohn's Third Quartet of Op.44.
		Their team spirit is certainly there and they have no lack of youthful enthusiasm too, which I could not detect at a recent Guarneri Quartet concert though they may have played better than the T'ang Quartet.
