Elgar's Introduction and Allegro features a solo string quartet along with the large string orchestra. For instance, Barbirolli's famous recording of this work features the Allegri String Quartet. I think that sometimes, the string quartet parts are taken by the first chairs in the string orchestra, so a separate string quartet is not identified. Does this clear up the mystery - or have I failed to understand the question? ;-)
