Performing in a string quartet is a special experience when first learning to play a string instrument. Consisting of two violins, one viola, and one cello, the ensemble features the beauty of each instrument's unique timbre and range. The 25 pieces in this collection have been carefully arranged for developing musicians in their first years of playing. Ranging from grade 1 to grade 2, each piece uses easy key signatures and accessible ranges in a variety of styles and tempi. Spanning several centuries, these pieces include works from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Post-Romantic eras. Representing many countries and cultures, this collection also includes music by women composers Louise Farrenc, Cecile Chaminade, Meanie Bonis, Louise Reichardt, and Amy Beach. Ideal for recitals and adjudicated events, this compilation of approachable music promises developing string players a rewarding first introduction to the string quartet.
