Performance Notes
This is a set of easy quartet for any kind of instrument (that reads treble clef). In the score violins, trumpets, clarinets, horn and saxophones are specified. The range is limited, the tunes simple and memorable, and the tempi and styles mixed. This combination makes the present set an interesting alternative to standard classical beginner’s quartet books.
