The Simple Symphony, Op. 4, is a work for string orchestra or string quartet by Benjamin Britten.It was written between December 1933 and February 1934 in Lowestoft, using material that the composer had written as a child, between 1923 and 1926.

The String Quartet in E minor, Op. 83, was one of three major chamber music works composed by Sir Edward Elgar in 1918. The others were the Violin Sonata in E minor, Op. 82, and the Piano Quintet in A minor, Op. 84. Along with the Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 of 1919, these were to be his last major works prior to his death in 1934.
Sergei Prokofiev's String Quartet No. 1 in B minor, Op. 50 (1931) was commissioned by the Library of Congress. [1] [2] The Quartet was first performed in Washington, D.C., on 25 April 1931 by the Brosa Quartet [3] and in Moscow on 9 October 1931 by the Roth Quartet. [1] [2] The string quartet is in three movements, lasting around 20–25 minutes.
In contrast to the standard quartet form, which places the minuet as the 3rd movement, this quartet has the minuet as its 2nd movement (another example of this ordering is the String Quartet No. 17). It is a long minuet, written in the tonic key of G major, with its chromatic fourths set apart by note-to-note dynamics changes.
Therefore, the work challenges the traditional notion of string quartet with its implied musical form and idiom. As music critic Paul Griffiths points out, Stravinsky's work, for the first time in the history of the genre, is determinedly not a 'string quartet' but a series of pieces to be played by four strings.
