Weddings, wedding quartets and composers

A wedding quartet is really a string quartet whose repertoire is suitable for use at weddings. Many composers have written music specifically for the String Quartet.

A few examples are given below, as illustrations:-  John Alden Carpenter (1876-1951; age 75); Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari (1876-1948; age 72); Jens Laurson Emborg (1876-1957; age ca. 81); Louis Aubert (1877-1968; age 90); Antonio Carlos Gomes (1836-1896; age 60); Léo Delibes (1836-1891; age 54); Albert Biehl (1836-1899; age ca. 63); Félix-Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911; age 74); Charles-Alexis Chauvet (1837-1871; age ca. 34); Georges Bizet (1838-1875; age 36); Max Bruch (1838-1920; age 82);
