French music is rich in chamber music. The subtle and delicate characteristics of the French composers lend themselves to this intimate and personal medium. Of string quartets probably the most beautiful and outstanding of all by French composers is Debussy's Quartet in G minor. In form it follows the cyclic method of con- ' struction which was so favoured by César Franck.
