What is the difference between the quartet, trio, and duo? Can I hear the difference?
A string quartet is a group of four instruments, two violins, viola and cello.
A string trio consists of three instruments: violin, viola, cello or two violins and a cello.
A string duo is a combination of two instruments, most often as a violin and a cello.
Listen to the difference! You can hear the " Canon in D" and "Jesu" in each different
ensemble to compare. Just click on the name of the piece to hear a sample.
All of these pieces are available as duo, trio, or quartet:
