Wedding Music - a quotation:  Bedfordshire   

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

Of his quartet, From My Life :1 A work which in a sense is private, and therefore written for four instruments which should converse together in an intimate circle about the things which so deeply trouble me. Nothing more. Bedrich Smetana (1824—84) Quoted in Cardus, The Delights of.i4usic, 1966
