Chamber music is an essential part of learning to play an instrument. These versatile quartets are written so that they can be performed by any combination of four string instruments. These arrangements by prominent string pedagogue Doris Gazda will sound full and satisfying with only four players all the way up to a full string orchestra. The selection of music in this collection covers a wide variety of musical styles that will provide hours of enjoyment and performance options. The quartets are progressively organized by level of difficulty as the performers advance in their skills. This is a welcome addition to the repertoire for all string players.
