About the creation
Elegy for viola (or clarinet) and string quartet or string orchestra was written in 1954 and exists also in other version: for clarinet and piano, or clarinet and string quartet or string orchestra.
The work is written in the form of a poem in five stanzas. Each stanza open with a variation on the interval of a third - which is the basic interval of the work - and develops into a free melodic recitative. The last stanza serves as an epilogue.
