Gabriel Fauré’s only string quartet which was composed in 1923-24 is the composers final work and was written at the suggestion of his publisher Jacques Durand.
Until then, Fauré had always put off writing a stringquartet, evidently because of Beethovens imposing shadow. When Fauré composed the quartet he was already extremely ill. He added dynamics and slurs only in some parts of the exposition of the first movement and then asked hisformer pupil Jean Roger-Ducasse to complete the work. Roger-Ducasses additions were however very extensive; he even altered and supplemented some of Faurés own markings in the exposition.
Bärenreiter’s first everscholarlycritical edition of the quartet based on vol. V/3 of the edition ‘Gabriel Fauré: vres complètes’ begun in August 2010 utilises all sources including the composers letters which provide valuable insights into the originsof the composition. In particular, Faurés penultimate work, the Piano Trio op. 120, was used to guide the editor with his emendations.
