The Music of Béla Bartók
Béla Bartók (1881-1945), whose symphonic and chamber music is still widely performed, was a leading composer of the first half of the 20th century. A convinced modernist, his musical inspiration nonetheless stems equally from the vanishing world of traditional Balkan folk music--which he was one of the first to document for the wider world. In the five sessions of this course, we’ll explore his lyrical and original voice as expressed in works such as Concerto for Orchestra, “Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta,” his piano concertos, and his six masterful string quartets.
NOTE: Listening to some of the music outside of class is encouraged but not required. Chamber Music Concerts in Ashland is presenting Bartók’s String Quartet No. 3 in 2025. Some online videos are available to enhance class sessions as well. Familiarity with classical music and its terminology will be helpful but is not necessary.
