Quartet

A quartet is a musical group composed of four performers, typically playing different instruments or singing together to create harmony. Common types include string quartets (violin, viola, cello, and sometimes a second violin), jazz quartets (like two horns, a bass, and a drum), or vocal quartets (four singers). Quartets excel at blending individual sounds into a unified, rich musical experience. The term also refers to compositions written for four voices or instruments, emphasizing the importance of balance and interaction among the four parts.
