The Whistler/Hummel First Quartet Album offers beginning ensembles a chance to develop chamber music skills with short pieces by composers like Haydn, Beethoven, Schumann, and others. All the pieces remain in easy positions, and involve simple rhythmic material.

For two violins, viola, and cello (score format). Compiled by Harvey S. Whistler and Herman A. Hummel. Published by Rubank Publications, distributed by Hal Leonard.

Difficulty: A2

NOTE: This book contains no individual parts; all parts are presented in score form so that each player can follow along with the rest of the group. You may, therefore, want to purchase a copy of the book for each member of the quartet.
