Quatre Morceaux de Salon is a set of pieces for cello and piano. These works are arguably the composer’s shortest. It is difficult to date these works, as the set was published posthumously. However, comparing the style and musical language to the 1830s manuscripts and published works, it is, perhaps, better to place these works in the 1860s.
Morceau de Salon No. 4 was extracted from the unpublished version of Servais's Cello Concerto in A minor, finale.
