Suite in G Minor, Op. 71 – Moritz Moszkowski
Considered a brilliant tour de force and a sure audience pleaser.
Trio on Chassidic Melodies – Paul Schoenfield
An ingenious blend of artistic ensemble, instrumental virtuosity, and deliberately fragmented references to melodies that might well have been heard at various Hassidic courts in Europe.
Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 13 – Richard Strauss
A work on a big scale and structurally strong, with the first movement in particular demonstrating a dramatic grasp of symphonic tension.

Ballade – Charles-Édouard Lefebvre
Ballade unites flute, cello and piano in a fairly short piece that exemplifies the Romantic movement.

Ravel, who is most known for Boléro, wrote his Basque-inspired in five weeks – rather than the typical five months – so that he could enlist in the Army for World War I.
Piano Trio No. 3, Op. 26 – Édouard Lalo
Lalo’s piece is among the first works considered uniquely French-sounding instrumental music.
