Works Chronology

Appendix: to be added

The current version of these pages has listings for 296 composers, with references to more than 2500 individual works. In most cases, all works in the string quartet medium are listed for every composer.

The composers represented here are selected on the basis of quality of the works, historical importance, and/or general popularity. Please let me know if you think someone is missing- these pages will gradually be added to.

By far, the majority of works are for the modern instrumentation of two violins, viola and cello {2vn,va,vc}. However, there are a few with different instrumentation, usually violin, two violas and cello {vn,2va,vc}, or with bass {2vn,va,b}, and a few other variations. There are also a few with an obligato fifth part, usually voice, flute, tape or electronics. Some examples of double quartets, and concertos for string quartet and orchestra are also included.
