A quote for Wedding Quartets.  The Mendips   

Wedding Quartets and similar ensembles have been mentioned in novels and plays. Here are some quotations:-

The string quartet— which Beethoven referred to all his life as a “violin quartet” —has been, and still is, an excellent medium for experimentation, and in its literature the many styles of music are represented.
