Just to get this thread back on track, here's some more chamber works that anyone could love:

Dvorák: String Quartet No. 11 in C, op. 61 "Cypresses"
Schubert: Piano Trio in E Flat Major, D959
Beethoven: Kreutzer sonata

OK. But the fact remains that he did write (or at least tried) some chamber music, and on evidence of the a minor piano quartet, we ought to be thankful for that.

Keep the last word. I don't doubt that his quartet lacks the polish of his mature works. Anyway, I always hated doing anything that was "assigned."

Borodin composed some very nice chamber works while in the conservatory, now almost completely neglected. In fact, his cello sonata is one of the best out there:

Indeed yes. Even juvenalia can have its charm.
Other cases in point: Mendelssohn's string symphonies or Bizet's symphony in C.
