http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Mendelssohn wrote a lot of string symphonies now that I do some research. Look at the form of those, and see what he did with them. He wouldn't have written 12 if he was not confident about their success.1 point

This used to be the case up until the 1900s. But, somewhere in there, they developed chamber symphonies. However, most of these too had "basically" all the elements of an orchestra, just smaller. Not as many instruments, more independence in the lines. I, personally, have never heard of a Symphony for strings. But, there is a LOT of music out there.1 point
