Magnard's oeuvre is not very extensive, but some of his consistently innovative compositions number among the outstanding works of French music history. His chamber compositions are always in four movements, and this structural standard functions as a mark of his independence from the national practice (cf. the symphonies in three movements by Chausson or Dukas based on Franck's model) and unwaveringly point to timeless models of German provenance.

"The Trio, in fact, is the real revelation. It's superbly done, with an almost instinctive sense of interplay between the players, and a fine understanding of Magnard's emotional ambiguities and his trenchant approach to form…it's all wonderfully taut, with austerely beautiful accounts of the first two movements and a nicely edgy approach ot the waltz that forms its third." Gramophone Magazine, November 2015
