Areas for Expansion
The items below were ones I was not able to locate details on while preparing the initial article. If anyone reads this and has citeable evidence, feel free to add the material to the article.

 * Ratner, in her liner notes states that the quartet was performed by the composer after it was finished but gives no details beyond that, the details must exist.
 * Details of the discovery of the manuscript.
 * Details of the first performances in the 20th Century following resdiscovery.
 * A good detailed analysis of the movements.

As for the first point, Gramophone Magazine, October 2009 (page 83), states: "It is unclear whether this early Quartet was played in its composer's lifetime; by the time chamber music became more fashionable in French music-making (a trend Saint-Saëns helped pioneer) in the 1880s, it might have seemed too old-fashioned to programme." As for the second point, I have inserted information about the history of the manuscript until 1992. I hope this is of some assistance. This quartet was completely unknown to me until today.

Introduction
Hi, I'm Catherine and I will be revising and editing this article as part of my chamber music literature class this spring. In particular, I will be looking to expand upon the individual movements as well as provide additional information where applicable in other subcategories. I look forward to your feedback on my revisions! Organ.Cat (talk) 01:41, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
