Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The String Quartet in E♭ major "in old style" (en estilo antiguo) is the only chamber music piece by Spanish composer Manuel Manrique de Lara [es]. It dates back to 1893, the last year he studied with Ruperto Chapí, and was preceded in 1892 by the Symphony in E minor, also subtitled in old style. Though Manrique de Lara was a passionate follower of Richard Wagner, this quartet does not show any traces of it. The first performance of the quartet took place only in 1905 by the members of Madrid Cuarteto Francés.[1] There is a mention of a further 1910 performance. The first modern performance was given by Cuarteto Bécquer (Madrid) in 2015. The same year a critical edition of the score was published by musicologist Diana Díaz.
