The year 1940 was comparatively quiet for Enescu. Romania had not yet entered the Second World War, and his schedule of concerts was not as intense as had been the case in the First World War, which gave him time to complete two major compositions, the Impressions d'enfance for violin and piano, and the Piano Quintet.
Enescu composed his First Piano Quartet in 1909: the first movement in Sinaia, the remaining two movements in Paris.The work was completed on 10 December, just over a week prior to the concert in which it was premiered, in the series Soirées d'Art on 18 December 1909—a programme that also included the premiere of the already ten-year-old Octet for Strings.
