Music is a mystery for people who play it, write it, listen to it, and write about it. The only thing I can really do when I try to say something about music is assume.

Well, I don't know the story of Budapest Quartet in any detail, but to me these guys look like (a) serious fellows, which they clearly were, and (b) weary travelers, which is not hard to imagine. Are you intimating that they disliked each other, or their work, or their careers? If so, I'd love to know more about it than inference from facial expressions of four tired-looking musicians.
