3FITZNER QUARTET. Was composed of R. Fitzner, J. Czerny, O. Zert and F. Buchsbaum. One of the most popular of European quartets, not only on account of its technical excellence but also through its musicianship.
5FLONZALEY QUARTET. Composed of Adolfo Betti, Alfred Pochon, Felicien d'Archambeau and Iwan d'Archambeau. This quartet was organized twenty-one years ago and has made eighteen hundred appearances in more than four hundred American cities and more than five hundred appearances in Europe. Its name, like that of the Kneisel quartet is inseparably linked with the growth of chamber music art in this country. Its performances of the classic works are irreproachable in both technical and musical respects. It has also presented in this country and abroad the greatest works of American as well as foreign composers. Another field which has developed for the enjoyment of music lovers has been the making of records for the phonograph, a partial list which is presented herewith:
