Quotations about Wedding Music ensembles

Much has been written about the wedding music and its instruments. Here are some quotations:-

"  Of his quartet, From My Life :1 A work which in a sense is private, and therefore written for four instruments which should converse together in an intimate circle about the things which so deeply trouble me. Nothing more. Bedrich Smetana (1824—84) Quoted in Cardus, The Delights of.i4usic, 1966 "
