  String Quartet No. 4 (Bartók) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
The String Quartet No. 4 by Béla Bartók was written from July to September, 1928 in Budapest.
The quartet employs a similar harmonic language to that of the String Quartet No. 3, and like that work, it has been suggested that Bartók was influenced in writing this by Alban Berg's Lyric Suite (1926) which he had heard in 1927.
The quartet employs a number of extended instrumental techniques; for the whole of the second movement all four instruments are played with mutes, while the entire fourth movement is played pizzicato.

 String Quartet No. 1 (Bartók) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The String Quartet No. 1 in A minor by Béla Bartók was completed in 1909.
The intense contrapuntal writing of this movement is often compared to Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14, the opening movement of which is a slow fugue.
The piece was premiered on March 19, 1910 in Budapest by the Waldbauer-Kerpely Quartet, two days after Bartók played the piano with them in a concert dedicated to the music of Zoltán Kodály.

 Béla Bartók
The arrival of this new voice is documented in his String Quartet no.1 (1908), introduced at a Budapest concert of his music in 1910.
The move from inward chromaticism to a glowing major (though modally tinged) tonality is basic to the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936) and the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion (1937), both written for performance in Switzerland at a time when the political situation in Hungary was growing unsympathetic.
It seemed that his last European work the String Quartet no.6 (1939), might be his pessimistic swansong, but then came the exuberant Concerto for Orchestra (1943) and the involuted Sonata for solo violin (1944).

The evening ended with a beautiful, intense performance of Brahms’s last symphony, No. 4, in E minor — the rare symphony that ends in a relentlessly gloomy minor key.
Before the BSO performance, at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Borromeo String Quartet played the program that was snowed out last December: Ligeti and Brahms.
But no one could complain about the depth of feeling and the warmth of tone in the soulful, muted, dirge-like cello aria of the slow movement — a relief after all the Koopman’s earlier undifferentiated liveliness.

 Composer Biography - Bartok, Bela
In 1894 they settled in Bratislava, where he attended the Gymnasium (Dohnányi was an elder schoolfellow), studied the piano with László Erkel and Anton Hyrtl, and composed sonatas and quartets.
For two years (1912-14) Bartók practically gave up composition and devoted himself to the collection, arrangement and study of folk music, until World War I put an end to his expeditions.
The search for new sonorities and driving rhythms was continued in the next two string quartets (1927-8), of which no.4, like the concerto, is in a five-section palindromic pattern (ABCBA).

Vagn Holmboe is certainly one of the greatest composers of string quartets in the 20th century, and this disc, part of an integral recording of Holmboe's 20 quartets, certainly ranks as a significant cycle after Bart¢k, Shostakovich and Simpson.
This quartet is remarkable not simply for its intensity but for Holmboe's unfolding and spinning out of ideas and his tendency to write quiet passages when the music is moving fast.
The Eleventh quartet is a rather hectic, playful affair with all sorts of buzzing and chromatic effects.
