Barenreiter Edition BA7901 - Gabriel Fauré Quatuor à cordes Op121. Gabriel Fauré’s only string quartet which was composed in 1923-24 is the composer’s final work and was written at the suggestion of his publisher Jacques Durand. Until then, Fauré had always put off writing a string quartet, evidently because of Beethoven’s imposing shadow. Bärenreiter’s first ever scholarly critical edition of the quartet utilises all sources including the composer’s letters which provide valuable insights.
