I'm conducting a string Quartet for a high school competition. The competition is basically place where people whom are studying German go and test their what they know. One of the events is a a quartet performing a piece by a german speaking composer. My group has until next saturday to practice and I want to know what you think is the best German Quartet. These kids are sophomores and freshmen in high school, so piece don't pick too hard of a piece.

Also, if anyone can think of some good polka music, that'll be great. I have to conduct a polka band also and I don't know much polka music. Also if you know where I can find some, please tell me!

I don't know the skill level of the players but a good one (it's alittle difficult) is Mendelssohn's Op. 12 Streichquartette. I would also suggest Haydn as it is not too difficult but is in places (I don't know if Haydn works for a German quartet though).

I have these(sorta borrowed from my highschool) quartet scores meant for highschool kids, they have works from mozart, beehtoven and ?schubert?

I can look for it, if you want, maybe make it into a finale file and send it. or pdf(well one of the string quartet pieces)
