More than one simple transcription from 4 to 26 instrumentalists, the work gives rise to a new musical relief. Indeed, while remaining faithful to the writing of the Quartet, the orchestration emphasizes new instrumental exchanges and proposes a different distribution of themes. In that, the shape of work is new.
Written in May 2005, the Symphony for Strings is the orchestration of the String Quartet op 26. It is a commission of Radio France and was created at the Festival Présences in February 2006 by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France.
