Apart from the well-known works of the quartet literature (Boccherini, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Smetana, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky) an integral part of its repertoire is formed by quartet miniatures as well as transcriptions of famous works composed for other intrumental line-up or originating in other genre spheres (Strauss, Offenbach, Lehar, Löewe, Gershwin, Beatles, Joplin).
