’This book provokes a good deal of thought and is full of excellent musical examples... If you are a performer, professional or amateur, this book will be worth investigating.’ The Strad '... a bold attempt to challenge a commonplace of the so-called 'Classical style'...' Early Music '[Mara Parker] has exposed complexities that will repay the further explorations of quartet scholars and performers.' Notes 'Parker's [...] quartet sample - over 650 works by sixty-two composers - is impressive, since the majority of the works under scrutiny are not available in reliable modern editions. She is also to be commended for including lengthy music examples; on several occasions entire quartet movements are reproduced... Her diligence in procuring and transcribing large quantities of hitherto obscure eighteenth-century quartets is laudable...' Eighteenth-Century Music
