It's only a 6-second piece of music. Sounds like a string quartet. Any ideas?

Very familiar, might be something from Haydn's op. 76...

Apologies, that was very unhelpful.

 

[Michall]

Thanks. I appreciate any help.

It's not a string quartet, nor is it classical music. A string quartet is comprised of four stringed instruments--two violins, a viola, and a cello. For example, here's a link to Maurice Ravel's String Quartet in F major,

The 6 second piece of music that you've posted has percussion and electronics & is possibly computer generated. So, I'd say it's relatively current music.

This is classical music. I should add that it has been modified with electronic drums and maybe some other sounds. But definitely the base is classical music.

Well, okay, it's possible that it's a modified bit from some classical piece, but it's very difficult to say what it is based on, judging from only a 6 second clip. Do you have more than just 6 seconds? If you had more & it is based on a classical work, I think it's quite possible that people around here might recognize what it is. To my ears, I don't think it's based on a 4 part string quartet. But I could be wrong.

 

[Michall]

I have unfortunately only 6 second.

Whether that can be considered classical music or not is open to debate. Whether it should be considered completely awful or not, isn’t.

I've tried it with Shazam several times, 6 seconds won't help, I myself do not recognize it, sorry.
