The following is from the March 2004 Encore, publication of BMG, describing
the Art of Fugue:
"The world-renowned Emerson String Quartet memorably interprets
Bach's enigmatic final masterpiece -- even though the string
quartet as a form was unknown to Bach."
Okay, Listfolk: What was the first string quartet? This is a request
for information, not a trivia question. BTW, this disc is on sale at
BMG for $4.99.
