​Gabriel Fauré - Three Preludes
for String Quartet

Gabriel Fauré composed his set of nine piano Preludes (Op. 103) in 1910-11, and they display the composer's late style. The advanced harmonic language is combined with clean vertical lines and structural concision. Three of the set have been arranged for string quartet, an ideal medium for this music of compact texture.

1 - F major (no. 4) - Allegretto moderato
2 - C minor (no. 8) - Allegro
3 - E minor (no. 9) - Adagio
​
Instrumentation: string quartet
