Quartet Repertoire

Quartet repertoire refers to the collection of musical works specifically written for a group of four musicians, typically consisting of string instruments like two violins, a viola, and a cello. This repertoire includes various styles and genres, notably classical music, but can also encompass contemporary and popular pieces. Notable composers for quartets include Beethoven, Haydn, and Mozart. Ensembles perform these works to explore intricate harmonies, textures, and collaborative interplay among the musicians, making quartet playing a prominent and cherished aspect of chamber music.
