Wikipedia - "Quartets is a 1994 studio album by English guitarist, composer and improvisor Fred Frith. It consists of two compositions by Frith, 'Lelekovice, String Quartet #1', performed by the Violet Wires String Quartet, and 'The As Usual Dance Towards the Other Flight to What is Not', performed by an electric guitar quartet. Frith performs with the guitar quartet, but not with the string quartet. 'Lelekovice, String Quartet #1' was composed by Frith in 1990 and was dedicated to Iva Bittová, Lelekovice being the name of the village near Brno in the Czech Republic where Bittová lives. It was first performed in July 1991 by the Edison Quartet at the Nieuwe Musiek Festival, in Middelburg, the Netherlands, and was used by the United States choreographer Amanda Miller in her dance piece, My Father's Vertigo in 1991."
