String Quartets

This bibliography provides the first single reference catalogue of sources on this crucial form, one of the most celebrated in classical music. Nearly 1800 books, articles, and other resources are organized, annotated, and cross-indexed. Particular emphasis is placed on the explosion of research in the last decade. The guide will serve as a ready reference for students and scholars, but also will be useful for anyone who wants to know where to begin to learn more about this important genre and its key composers. Like John H. Barron's "Chamber" "Music" guide, this resource is another indispensable volume in the Routledge Music Bibliography series.
