**Acknowledgments**

I am grateful to Laura Wagner, Books Manager and Editor at the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), for inviting me to act as the Guest Editor for a Special Issue of the online journal Arts on chamber music—an initiative that gradually turned into this book project. I would like to express my special thanks to Oliva Andereggen and Jelena Milojevic, Assistant Editors at MDPI, for their enthusiasm and their continuous support, and for making the process of preparing this volume for publication a thoroughly enjoyable one. I also extend my thanks to the MDPI Production team for their meticulous work on the manuscript, as well as the layout and design of this book.

I would particularly like to express my gratitude to all the authors not only for their expert contributions that made this book possible, but also for their perseverance and patience in bringing this project to completion in the face of all the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. To each of my chamber music partners, past and present: I am grateful for the joy and inspiration you brought and continue to bring to our music making.

As always, I dedicate this volume with devotion and love to my husband, Dr. John Dack, and our daughter, Yasemin. Without their daily support, this book would not have seen the light of day.
