Browser

Most browsers will work with the normal version of the site. For the enhanced version, however, several older browsers may not have some of the necessary features. If you wish to upgrade now, we recommend the latest versions of either Microsoft Internet Explorer (5.0 and above) or Netscape Communicator (4.61 and above):

Macromedia Flash

Several sections of the site are written in Macromedia Flash for its ability to efficiently handle multimedia data. Flash is not absolutely necessary to view the site; if you do not have it, your browser will automatically substitute still diagrams for the animations.

If you need to install Macromedia Flash, you can get it here:

RealPlayer

We are proud to feature full performances of several of the greatest chamber music selections of all time. These performances are in the RealAudio format for its portability and widespread support. If you do not have RealPlayer, you can get it here:

DHTML

Older browsers (before versions 4.x) do not support DHTML. To see if you're supported, run your mouse over this text. If no window pops up, you do not have a DHTML-enabled browser. You can get one through the links at the top of the page.

Fonts

While basically any font will do, you may want to use what we feel are the most attractive fonts for our site layout:

This is your font.

If not, then you can download the Verdana font for free: Windows 95+ Windows 3.x Macintosh
