Quotations about Wedding Music ensembles

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

"  The general principles of playing together, as epitomized in the string quartet, would seem fairly obvious: style, homogeneity, and the happy blending of the individual players’ distinctive qualities. it is naturally more satisfying to listen to a professional group than to four chance artists who play without quartet style, because an interpretation is alive and interesting only when subserved by a highly developed understanding and subtlety of ensemble. "

Arrangers and composers through the ages
