Description:
Béla Bartók's six string quartets, composed between 1908 and 1940, are among the milestones of the genre in the 20th century. This slipcase bundles the works in six handy, first-class pocket scores. Each of these highly different works is a gem and unfolds a true firework of string timbres and rhythmic finesse. The edition, which is supervised by Bartók researchers László Somfai and Zsombor Németh, takes into account not only the manuscript and printed sources but also letters and notes by the composer and therefore offers not only musical text of top scholarly quality, but also exciting notes on its creation and performance practice. The musical text follows the complete edition of the works of Belá Bartók, which was also published by G. Henle Verlag. A real treasure trove of information and a valuable companion for chamber music lovers and ambitious string quartet ensembles!
