Poème élégiaque, for violin and orchestra in D minor, op. 12

Poème élégiaque in D minor, Op. 12 for violin and orchestra (or piano) is the first of Eugène Ysaÿe's poems for string instruments and orchestra. The piece first took shape around 1892-1896 but achieved its final orchestrated form in 1902-1903. Dedicated to Gabriel Fauré, it served as an inspiration for Ernest Chausson's own Poème, Op. 25.
