Wedding Quartets - a quotation: Ealing

A sample of what has been written about wedding quartets:-

The general principles of playing together, as epitomized in the string quartet, would seem fairly obvious: style, homogeneity, and the happy blending of the individual players’ distinctive qualities. it is naturally more satisfying to listen to a professional group than to four chance artists who play without quartet style, because an interpretation is alive and interesting only when subserved by a highly developed understanding and subtlety of ensemble.
