A group in their own right is formed by the three string orchestra works written in memory of, and reverence for, Hungarian composers of great stature: Epitaph for Bela Bartok, Hommage a Zoltan Kodaly and a homage to Liszt, that virtuosic composer par excellence of the Romantic era. I have incorporated the two most essential characteristics of Liszt's music - luscious romanticism and virtuosic elan - into the mood and colourful spectrum of the string orchestra sound. Melodic and harmonic material dominated at first by an augmented fourth and laterby a perfect fourth forms the mainstay of the while work and provides a unifying element. (Einojuhani Rautavaara).

In 1884 the Norwegian city of Bergen celebrated the 200th birthday of Ludvig Holberg, one of its most famous sons and a symbolic figure of the late Baroque era. For this occasion Grieg wrote the piano suite Aus Holbergs Zeit , which he orchestrated for string orchestra. To this day, the Suite - particularly in this arrangement - ranks among Grieg's most popular works. By using the romantic string sound, Grieg brings the late Baroque orchestral suite and its various dance forms to life again. Along with the string serenades of Dvorak and Tchaikovsky, Aus Holbergs Zeit is regarded as the third great late-romantic work for string orchestra.
