The composer Johanna Senfter (1879 1961) from Oppenheim concerned herself with chamber music for strings all her life, even studied violin in Frankfurt herself. Max Reger then gave her lessons in Leipzig, first privately, then in his composition class at the conservatoire and valued her 'extraordinary compositional talent'. The strict teacher more and more became a committed promoter of the works by Johanna Senfter. For a period of 50 years, the composer concerned herself with the string quartet genre, from Quartet No. 1 in D minor Op. 4, composed shortly after the turn of the century, to the sixth and last Quartet in C minor Op. 115 which was performed for the first time in 1960, one year before her death. The Quartet in F sharp minor Op. 28 is her second quartet which was premiered in Darmstadt on 5 November 1922. In this work, as in later works, Senfter combined traditional form models - here Baroque movements like gavotte, saraband, gigue - with expressive, late Romantic musical language. The work, consisting of six short movements, may without doubt be regarded as a valuable addition to the quartet repertoire.

Scott's String Quartet No.3 was published in 1960. It was premiered by the Aeolian Quartet at the Wigmore Hall in London in the following year.
Cyril Scott (1879-1970) was a British composer, pianist and poet. His most popular works, which he is largely remembered by today, were written in the years preceding the Second World War, however he continued to compose prolifically, in the face of indifference from the outside world, right up until his death at the age of 91. His music is predominantly in the Romantic style, and serves as a tasteful reminder of a bygone age.

Sallinen's second quartet (dating from 1960) is an excellent example of motivic development. The Canzona presents a panorama, constantly shifting and gradually revealing new aspects of itself while the basic landscapes from which it grows remain virtually unchanged.

No matter the occasion, string quartets are always in demand. Music for Celebrations features eight works by composers ranging from Marc-Antoine Charpentier to Charles Gounod which rank among the most popular wedding classics, with many of the pieces also well suited for other occasions. The arranger Anthony Gröger has succeeded in transforming the works, some of which originally had extensive instrumentation, into compelling string quartet arrangements that are also easy to play while preserving much of the familiar character of the originals. The third violin part, which can replace the viola part if no violist is available, is an added bonus.Er is altijd vraag naar strijkkwartetten voor diverse feestelijke gelegenheden. Music for Celebrations bevat acht werken van verschillende bekende componisten, van Marc-Antoine Charpentier tot Charles Gounod, die behoren tot de meest geliefde klassiekers voor bruiloften, maar veelal eveneens geschikt zijn voor andere gelegenheden. Arrangeur Anthony Gröger is erin geslaagd de stukken waarvan sommige oorspronkelijk voor een omvangrijke instrumentatie zijn geschreven te transformeren tot overtuigende, goed speelbare muziek voor strijkkwartetbezetting, waarin het vertrouwde klankbeeld grotendeels behouden is gebleven. Een handig extraatje is de toegevoegde derdevioolpartij, die de altvioolpartij kan vervangen als er geen altviolist beschikbaar is. Bei festlichen Anlässen diverser Art sind Streichquartette immer wieder gefragt. In Music for Celebrations sind acht Kompositionen von Marc-Antoine Charpentier bis Charles Gounod versammelt, die besonders auf Hochzeitsfeiern zu den beliebtesten Klassikern zählen, wobei viele der Stücke sich auch für andere Gelegenheiten bestens eignen. Dem Arrangeur Anthony Gröger ist es gelungen, die teilweise umfangreich besetzten Originalwerke in überzeugende, gut spielbare Streichquartettsätze zu verwandeln und dabei viel vom vertrauten Klangbild zu bewahren. Ein Bonbon ist die zusätzlich beiliegende dritte Violinstimme, die anstelle der Bratschenstimme genutzt werdenkann, falls kein Bratschist zur Verfügung steht. Souvent demandés, les quatuors cordes se prêtent toutes sortes d’occasions festives. Music for Celebrations rassemble huit œuvres de compositeurs allant de Marc-Antoine Charpentier Charles Gounod. Ces pièces comptent parmi les classiques les plus populaires lors des mariages, mais un grand nombre d’entre elles sont aussi parfaitement adaptées d'autres occasions. L'arrangeur Anthony Gröger est parvenu transformer les œuvres originales, parfois dotées d’une instrumentation étendue, en quatuors cordes convaincants et faciles jouer, tout en conservant en grande partie leur identité sonore familière. La troisième partie de violon constitue une friandisesupplémentaire. Elle peut être utilisée la place de la partie d'alto si aucun altiste n'est disponible.

The composition of Krzysztof Penderecki's four string quartets is marked by an idiosyncratic interruption: the first two experimental, improvisatory quartets were composed in swift succession in the 1960s. The third and fourth quartets followed substantially later, but were also written in relatively quick succession in the years 2008 and 2016. The quartet cycle as a whole is exemplary of the composerÂ’s two extensive creative phases, thus displaying a stylistic change that is in a class of its own in the history of music. The very short unnumbered quartet Der unterbrochene Gedanke [The Broken Thought], written 1988 in the middle of the 'quartet break', appears as an only too apt commentary.
