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 seize the opportunity of putting a new one into the repertoire where few good ones existed. Gabriel Fauré’s Piano Quartet #2 in g-minor is your Midday Masterpiece today at 2:00 pm.
