Quotations about String Quartets.

Literature has many quotatios about string quartets and their instruments. Here are some quotations:-

The first requisite for a good ensemble is that each player shall have the sense of the whole. This he can only feel by listening to the others—constantly, whether he knows the music or is reading at sight. With practice, then, he becomes familiar with the other parts and is ready to adjust himself to them or to assert himself so that they can adjust themselves to him, but be can never afford to stop listening. Only by remaining acutely aware of what is being done about him can he be sensitized to the necessary degree
