Hungarian Quartet

The Quartet was originally brought together when two students of Jenő Hubay ? Sándor Végh on violin and Dénes Koromzay on viola ? as well as violinist Zoltán Székely and violoncellist Pál Hermann, were recruited in 1937. At that point Sándor Végh moved to the second violin desk, and in 1940 he left to found the Végh Quartet. He was then replaced by the Russian Alexandre Moszkowsky. The Quartet had made its debut in 1935, and met with swift success. Szekely was a friend of Béla Bartók's, and the group became rapidly known by giving the Hungarian première performance of the Bartok 5th Quartet, which it studied with the composer. By 1938, the group had been heard in every major city of Western Europe. wikipedia
