Sketch 2 : ' New paper for the room '

Quartet for piano and strings, in G minor, Op. 45 played by the Silverman Pianoforte Quartet :
Edward Silverman (violin)
Winifred Copperwheat (viola)
William Pleeth (cello)
Margaret Good (piano)
Gabriel Faure composed two piano quartets : the first, Op. 15, is a very charming, simple early work ; the second, Op. 45 in G minor, which was written seven years later, in 1886, is generally considered to be one of Faure's finest chamber works.
Particularly fine is the scherzo, which has been described* as ' the tumult of the storm'. The slow movement is Faure at his most poetic and expressive.
