A string quartet consists of

Answer 1

From audience left, in order: first violin, second violin, cello, viola. The arrangement is roughly an arc of a circle of somewhat less than one-hundred-eighty degrees; the violist is almost, but not quite, facing the first violinist. Things vary a bit from quartet to quartet, but what I've written is generally true, in my experience.

Answer 2

Generally a string quartet consists of two violins, a viola, and a cello. The string quartet is one of the most popular formation of chamber music. Many weddings/gigs/and fundraisers use string quartets as performers.

String quartet pieces are structured like orchestral music. The outer movements are usually fast (usually ending with Presto!). The inside movements are usually slow or dance-like (minuets, etc).

If you are considering doing a string quartet, you should start one!... It is an extremely fun type of chamber music so get involved with.

Answer 3

The violins are seated to the left of the conductor. The first violins to the far left, the 2nd violins to the right of the first violins. The violas in front of the conductor, the cellos to the right, double bass behind the cellos.
