Gabriel Fauré’s Second Piano Quartet was NOT the product of a commission. It seems that he was just interested in exploring the possibilities of the piano quartet format, and perhaps to get a new one into the repertoire where few good piano quartets existed. Gabriel Fauré’s Piano Quartet No. 2 in g-minor is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
