Maurice Ravel completed his String Quartet in F major in early April 1903 at the age of 28. It was premiered in Paris in March the following year.

4 and the key is A major. The whole movement is quiet, never rising above mezzo forte; the strings are muted throughout. As in the String Quartet of three years earlier Ravel places themes in the opening movement that recur in subsequent sections, most particularly the insistent opening theme, F–E–D–C ♯. [9]
The F-major melody of the trio is in a completely different metre (4 2) from the scherzo (3 4). When the piano introduces it, the strings continue to play material derived from the scherzo in 3 4 time, and the two time signatures continue to coexist in the different parts until the return of the trio.
