Ernest Chausson by P. Frois, ca. 1885, Bibliothèque nationale de France [via WikiPedia; PD]
In a clever arrangement of the violin and piano as main instruments, in front of a String Quartet mostly as support, the 1891 “Concert for Violin, Piano and String Quartet” by French composer Ernest Chausson is today’s Midday Masterpiece.
