Every one of the members of the;
quartet have won unusual recognl-;
tion as artists on their respective In
struments in Europe as well as in
America. Mr. Letz, the founder,,
played with the Kneisels during the!
concluding years of that organiza
tion. ..
The Outlook, of New York Feb. 5,
1919, writes as follows on comment-!
ing on the work, of the quartet: . "It
is reassuring to notice that a cham
ber music organization of - the finest
standards and achievements - the
Letz String Quartet h.as recently'
come into existence without any
blowing of trumpets, basing its claim
to attention simply on solid musician
ship, fine artistic feeling, careful
preparation of concerts and unas-.
suming but steadfast loyalty to the
best.
"In a sense it may be regarded asi
the natural successor of the Kneisel.
Quartet, but it is Its successor .in the
deeper sense that it has remained
true to th9 standards it set American
Chamber music at a time when we
had fewer groups of high attain-i
ments and less established traditior
than we have now." -
