The Piano Quartet op. 15 was an extremely successful work during the composer's lifetime and was reissued numerous times; it was one of Faure's compositions that helped to advance his reputation as a composer of great chamber music.

The Piano Quartet op. 45, although not as popular in Faure's lifetime, has also become a standard in chamber music concerts today. This Urtext edition is based on the first edition engraved by Roder, but it also relies on Faure's autograph for the exact placement of dynamics and articulation.

Baerenreiter's first ever scholarly-critical editions of Gabriel Faure's much loved chamber music are based on the "Complete Works of Gabriel Faure". All available sources have been critically examined.
