Darius Milhaud – Violin Sonata No. 2, Op. 40
Claude Debussy – String Quartet in G minor, Op. 10

In Debussy's first and only foray into writing for string quartets, he broke the chamber music mold. With his daring and freeform structure, he created a strikingly modern chamber style all his own. Debussy's avant-garde quartet is perfectly at home amongst works by pioneering female composer Henriette Renié and modernist composer Darius Milhaud.
