This NTT is tricky. I (Will) think it's a string quartet, but I've been wrong so many times when it comes to chamber music (could be a quintet.)
That last little harmonic slide makes me think of Debussy, but he only wrote one quartet, his op. 1, after which he never listed a work with an opus number again (at least I don't think he did.)
But I would comfortably put this in like the 1880-1910 zone, and I wouldn't shy away from suggesting France. Fauré perhaps? I just don't think he wrote that many works. One of those Florent Schmitt people?
For those not aware, 153 is a big opus number, i.e. this would be the work of a very prolific composer. Charles Koechlin had a lot of opera (the plural of opus, btw) so maybe he could be in the mix?
We know from the number that this must be the work of a mature composer. Saint-Saëns perhaps?
That's as good as I can do, and I may be totally off track — better luck to the rest of you!
