Bela Bartok (1881-1945) was one of the most important composers and
musical thinkers of the 20th century. His contributions as a
composer, as a performer and as the father of ethnomusicology
changed the course of music history and of our contemporary
perception of music itself. At the center of Bartok's oeuvre are
his string quartets, which are generally acknowledged as some of
the most significant pieces of 20th century chamber music. The
String Quartets of Bela Bartok brings together innovative new
scholarship from 14 internationally recognized music theorists,
musicologists, performers, and composers to focus on these
remarkable works from a range of theoretical and methodological
perspectives. Focusing on a variety of aspects of the string
quartets-harmony and tonality, form, rhythm and meter, performance
and listening-it considers both the imprint of folk and classical
traditions on Bartok's string quartets, and the ways in which they
influenced works of the next generation of Hungarian composers.
Rich with notated music examples the volume is complemented by an
Oxford Web Music companion website offering additional notated as
well as recorded examples. The String Quartets of Bela Bartok,
reflecting the impact of the composer himself, is an essential
resource for scholars and students across a variety of fields from
music theory and musicology, to performance practice and
ethnomusicology.
