A quote for Wedding Quartets.  Ledbury   

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

Being so compact and lasting a form, the string quartet has developed a style of its own—and this in two senses. First, there is the style of the music. One might attempt to define style as an element that governs the composition of music and itself pervades all elements in the music, what Alfred Einstein calls its “inner bearing”. This implies the final crystallization, all technical elements perfected, of the composer’s musical thought.
