The string orchestra variant of Schönberg”s String Sextet op. 4 of 1899 originally dates from 1917, and has enjoyed undiminished popularity ever since, so popular that, according to the relevant statistics, it is played more often than all other Schönberg pieces together. Glorified night is a popular repertory piece and a never ending serious challenge to string orchestras.
