The String Quartets of B?la Bart?k

At the center of Bart?k’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 B?la Bart?k examines these remarkable works from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives, considering both the imprint of folk and classical traditions on Bart?k’s string quartets, and the ways in which they influenced works of the next generation of Hungarian composers.
