Listen "Bartok Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste"
Episode Synopsis
Bartok's Music for Strings Percussion and Celeste is a perfect encapsulation of Bartok's musical output. Each movement provides us with a magnifying glass into some of the qualities that made Bartok one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. But for how spectacular a piece it is, it isn't played as often as it should be, partly because of its extreme difficulty. Today, I'm going to talk you through what is perhaps Bartok's greatest piece, the unforgettable Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celeste.
