It's always a great idea to have a backup just in case.

This depends on the string quartet. Some are happy to learn a song for you free of charge, others will do it for a small fee and others are not able to offer this service.

If this is something that is very important to you, it's essential to check with your adviser before booking that your chosen quartet offer this service.
