Music Selections
Want a great tip on selecting music that will be great when played by a string quartet? Best tip is to listen to the piece you have in mind and ask yourself if it has a theme that you can hum or sing and is still recognizable. Many piano pieces, especially Chopin and Beethoven, are beautiful on piano, but will be disappointing by a string group. The piano style that makes it special will be lost. Instead, listen to recordings of string music. There are sooo many pieces for strings! If you are in love with a lot of solo piano pieces, find a great pianist. There are many out there. Our aim is to give you what you will be happy with, and that works best when we are playing music that was written for our intstruments.
