A violist’s dream!
Well Bill a violist has time between after-beats to think up all manner of palace intrigue.
But is this a matter of a quartet shedding its violinists, or of the violinists shedding the quartet?
Yet another over-dramatic title. The real story is that the violinists are replaced, which is in the order of things
Queen Anne’s axe : 5 new heads and 8 new handles
Neither Sascha Bota nor Brian O’Kane were founding members
Inaccurate dramatized title to attract readers!! Even in this kind of scene, must you do this ? I know, otherwise no one reads !
It makes me think of the Ephrastos String Quartet which shed all of its strings after a quarrel during a tour through Argentina.
