String Quartet No. 3 (Bartók)

"String Quartet No. 3" by Béla Bartók was written in September 1927 in Budapest. It is one of six string quartets by Bartók. The work is in one continuous stretch with no breaks, but is divided in the score into four parts: 1. * Prima parte: Moderato 2. * Seconda parte: Allegro 3. * Ricapitulazione della prima parte: Moderato 4. * Coda: Allegro molto The mood of the first part is quite bleak, contrasting with the second part which is livelier and provides evidence of the inspiration Bartók drew from Hungarian folk music, with dance-like melodies to the fore.
