Quatuors pour piano, violon, alto, violoncelle: en mi majeur et si bémol majeur, op. 41

Album by Camille Saint‐Saëns & Quatuor Elyséen

Quatuors pour piano, violon, alto, violoncelle: en mi majeur et si bémol majeur, Op. 41 are the two piano quartets by French composer Camille Saint‑Saëns, composed in 1875. These Romantic chamber works are characterised by a clear, classically proportioned approach to form, a prominent and often virtuosic piano part balanced against lyrical string writing, and they occupy a place in Saint‑Saëns's middle-period output as contributions to the French chamber-music repertoire.
