In order to achieve the best results of the use of divisi, it is recommended to have a minimum of string players available:
Violin I - 8 players
Violin II - 8 players
Viola - 6 players
Cello - 5 players
Contrabass - 3 players
Bigger string groups are preferable.
Fermata duration is ment to constitute an addition of half of the duration of the note. E.g. a fermata over a quarter note should have a duration of a quarter note / rest + a eighth note / rest.
First performed in Washington D.C. on the 5th of October 2006 by Sir James Galway and the National Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leonard Slatkin. The same program also performed the 6th and 7th of October.
