Piano Quartets Op. 15 & Op. 45

Album by Gabriel Fauré & Quartetto Fauré di Roma

Piano Quartets Op. 15 and Op. 45 are chamber works by French composer Gabriel Fauré, composed in 1876 and 1886 respectively. They showcase Fauré's chamber style, blending lyrical, song-like lines with intricate harmonic shifts and a balanced interplay between piano and strings, reflecting a move towards the more introspective harmonic language of his middle period within the context of late 19th-century French chamber music.
