What has been written about Wedding Quartets.  Wiltshire   

Literature has many references about wedding quartets and their instruments. Here are some examples-

before it can attempt to interpret musical style, a quartet must master the essential style of its own form. It faces a set of problems distinct from either solo or orchestral problems. Quartet playing means four individuals who must make a unified whole yet remain individuals. The soloist is a whole in himself, and in the orchestra individuality is lost in numbers that are held together by the personality of the conductor.
