Albert Roussel's op 52, for starters... for strings only, as are at least two of Miaskovsky's three and the one of Laszlo Lajtha's, whch I believe is a straight transcription of a string quartet. Nicholas Berezowsky [his op 17; I think I have a full score somewhere here]. The others in my score-and-record database have been mentioned. I have no immediate reference, but I think Moisei Vainberg did one, probably for strings only. Down among the Czechs: Vitezslava Kapralova: Vojenska Sinfonietta [Military Sinfonietta] Vaclav Trojan: Sinfonietta armoniosa From Sweden: Dag Wiren's op 7 From Denmark: Knudage Riisager's op 46 From the USA: Wallingford Riegger's op 73 From Imperial Russia: Rimsky-Korsakov: Sinfonietta on Folk Tunes op 31 [surely earlier than Chadwick] John Wiser [log in to unmask] [log in to unmask]
