Certainly nearly everyone who was at this week's performance will be back to hear Arnold Steinhardt, John Dalley, Michael Tree, and David Soyer play more music from the-string quartet repertoire. Monday's concert--Schumann's Quartet in F Major, Op. 41, No. 2, Bartok's Quartet No. 5, and and Beethoven's Quartet in F Major, Op. 135, was a display of vitality, balance, and sensitivity...
