I believe the Adagio comes from a string quartet. I'd go check some of my books and records, except that I'd be kicked off the internet for dawdling, and I often have trouble getting on. I know it's not from a symphony. Good luck.
Thanks, you are so right... I knew it wasn't a symphony, it must be Monday.....I have tried to research and find the piece complete and I thought I recalled it being done but by ????????... Tis a mystery.....
Following up on Adagio for Strings. It comes from his string quartet op.11. My old Schwann Catalogue lists 6 recordings back in 1995. On the chance you would be dissatisfied with the other movements, look for it in a library first. I've never heard the work, myself, but I suspect the adagio is what carries it. If you do find the quartet, please let us know what you think.
