What pieces do you know like the Verdi String Quartet by composers working outside of their best known medium?
I recently found the Verdi String Quartet and was pleasantly surprised by the piece, especially since I rarely think of Verdi outside of opera. What other gems do you know of by composers working in a medium other than that which we typically think of them?
It's curious how this results in both of us grappling within the realm of Italian opera... 
My beloved Bellini donning symphonic tailcoat 'best bib & tucker' with his Oboe Concerto in Eb:
Donizetti 'going to church':
And, nipping across the Alps, but sticking with opera, Schumann's singleton 'Genoveva':
That last one is not so much a 'gem' as the musical equivalent of what occupied Dr Johnson's observation concerning women preachers: "Sir, a woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all."
All the best,
Beethoven String Quartet Op. 18 No.1 1st mvt.
