Additional List of String Quartet Composers

UPDATED : THIS PAGE HAD BEEN COMBINED INTO THIS ONE! That is the latest version and the page combined into Wikipedia's article as well! Please check it! Meanwhile, this list on this page will no longer being updated, thus supersede.

Wikipedia's List of String Quartet Composers is an excellent start for scholar and enthusiast to see comprehensive list of Composer who wrote String Quartet. But then over the year I found too many neglected composers, mostly in Classical Era, did not make it into the list. So, here I compiled the list for it, additional list for Wikipedia's. I did not had time to standardized the list, but I guess it is informative enough. My sources are :
http://thesavagebreast.blogspot.com/p/composers.html - Blog for String Quartets of the Classical Era
https://www.areditions.com/rr/rrc.html - Score publication and research
http://www.lmconsult.com/xq_r1700.html#HOLZ01 - Dedicated website for String Quartet
IMSLP-String quartet Category
http://editionsilvertrust.com/string-quartets.htm - Dozens of chamber score.
Over the time I will update this list, including detail and number of quartet everytime I come across new infos.

For starter, I remind everyone the timeline of Haydn's String Quartet, as he is regarded as inventor of this genre. Thanks Papa Haydn!
