The Piano Quartet op. 45, although not as popular in Fauré's lifetime, has also become a standard in chamber music concerts today. This Urtext edition is based on the first edition engraved by Roeder, but it also relies on Fauré's autograph for the exact placement of dynamics and articulation. Barenreiter's first ever scholarly-critical editions of Gabriel Fauré's much loved chamber music are based on the Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré. All available sources have been critically examined.
