      @MelodiousThunk Рік тому +2

      Given that it's beamed in groups of 6, I suspect that Bartok omitted triplet brackets because he didn't want it to be phrased in groups of 3. I'm not sure why it doesn't have any sextuplet brackets though.

    Hard to digest this piece. Many great parts but scattered between a decent amount of dense dissonance. I don't regret listening but I hope the next time I listen that it goes faster somehow lol.

      The Shostakovich string quartets could be a gateway into the Bartók string quartets. They’re equally as energetic, but not as dissonant and atonal as those of Bartók.

    I've got a strong musical ear and have composed in a broad range of genres for 26 years, and I'm pretty sure that sometimes Bartok, for his first drafts, was just having a laugh.
    Just throwing ink or something else at the staves, and writing semi-random dots and copying their octaves or similar. Then getting a couple of musicians to play it, ironing out some of the parts most eligible for improvement, and inserting some coherence here and there.
    I think he could be excellent, not knocking him, but when you're good in a world of idiots, and you're lucky enough to have got some respect, sometimes you can amuse yourself by just writing any old crap and watching people pretend they know what it means, to seem smart and cultured XD Especially if you're getting paid for it. I mean, how much of this do you actually think he felt? How much do you feel? His 7 Sketches, for example, had meaning. Much of this (not all) just isn't musical.
    But if people don't compose at a high level, then who's gonna dare to suggest that. Hence, it's 'genius'...

      as a composer myself, i don't think i could disagree more. random this is not, it is carefully crafted perhaps to the point of obsession. if you don't think this is musical, i wonder what your definition of musical is? it must be a rather narrow view. yes, it is possible to write any old crap and watch people be impressed as you say, but this quartet is far from that.

    • @donmontague4107
      @donmontague4107 Рік тому

      @@joeschacher2786 There are some parts that show structure - on the stave - but many of them are neither beautiful, nor profound, nor structured, harmonious, nor emotionally relatable.
      Explain to me, say, 17:00 and after. What is the most emotionally deep part of that? The most profound or relatable?
      Music takes far more talent to write than most people realise, but the whole point in the result is that you can Feel it. You do not feel this, because it is largely chaos. In fact, it is noise.
      I suspect that he knew this perfectly well. If you were to play one instrumental part of this slowly on a piano, it wouldn't make any sense to you either. Because it's not supposed to.
      Good music is something you Feel. Music is not a ponsey, pretentious maths class for spoilt kids in a conservatory. It is for people to listen to and feel. Even if those people have to have a powerful musical ear to do so. It could be Third Stream, French Modernist, Alt Metal/Rock, folk music, or otherwise, but it still relates, note for note, to a mental energy state of some kind. How then does this qualify as music?

      This is definitely more experimental and prickly than quartet number 4. I could see an argument for him not "feeling" it, but I think it's obvious that it's carefully crafted. after a few listens, this is not one of my favorites.

      @@donmontague4107 all i can say is i wholeheartedly disagree. as for feeling music, first feeling frantic or anxious seems valid, second "feeling" is not a prerequisite for what is music. the 17:00 mark is faaaaar from chaos, i hear lots of material being pulled from various places that may not make much sense in a vacuum but as part of a piece it works just fine.
