Interested in how the Budapest Quartet sounded with performer Alexander Schneider back as second Violin, the author went to a couple of concerts at the YMHA to hear the performances of string quintets with Canton Cooley as second viola. The author was surprised to see Schneider seat himself opposite Joseph Roisman, the first violin, instead of next to him; and the author was told later that this seating arrangement sounded better to the players themselves. But since the sound from Schneider's violin was directed toward the back of the stage while the sound from Roisman's was directed toward the auditorium, the listener heard a, first-violin part that was out of proper proportion to the second.
