Bartok - Out of Doors
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 апр 2012
- Out of Doors (Szabadban), composed by Béla Bartók in his 'piano year' of 1926.
1. With Drums and Pipes - bang bang bang WHAM bang WHAM bang WHAM. Oh yeah...
2. Barcarolla (1:51) - you can almost see the girls bumping their hips.
3. Musettes (3:50) - as in bagpipes
4. Musiques Nocturnes (6:40) - Night Musics, not Night's Music. Not sleepy or dreamy, but with senses and awareness heightened.
5. The Chase (12:01) - are those arpeggiated clusters at the opening, or screams of terror? Curiously, rather than press on towards the end, Bartok backs off as in exhaustion, with a final Chomp!
Created, edited and mastered in Digital Performer 5.13 (MOTU), using Ivory (Synthogy) sound banks. Video created in iMovie.

This piece dispels any possible doubt that Bartok considered the piano to be a percussion instrument.
Yes, but not only in this ingrained interpretation. In my opinion, the treatment of the piano as a percussion instrument in his interpretation was mainly due to attempts to better emphasize syncopations and other nuances in the paraphrases of rhythmic male dances. I recommend watching this short video first ruclips.net/video/VHn_NBBIKeM/видео.html
- then coming back to "With Drums and Pipes", or choosing the "Allegro barbaro"
you mean, surely, that "... bartok did not consider the piano to be a percussion instrument" ...
@@translucent. No, I mean just what I said. Any doubt that Bartok considered piano a percussion instrument would be dispelled by his pieces that used it like one.
I guess he thought the boys were girls
@@jerryengelbach this was made by a midi
The nocturnes is absolutely bueatiful. Especially when those little folk melodies weave in. Bartok is a genius and master of anxiety and mystery in music.
The reason why we love Bartok so much is because he is, foremost, a composer of melody. The more you familiarize yourself with his music, the more obvious it becomes. He constructed the perfected harmonic language and aural landscapes on which to place those melodies, cocoons where they could grow and thrive.
This comment is bullshit much as i like bartok 😂😂
@@AndreyRubtsovRU right, well, you’re obviously not a musician, so why the f*ck would anyone bother with what you think? Shouldn’t you be playing Xbox right now?
Teacher: From 1 to 10, how crazy are you about music? Me: Bartok
I remember my first class with a teacher. The first day she asked me who was my favourite composer, to start knowing eachother at least musically, being the first day... And I said: Bartók of course. And she not only knew me musically.
Me: Level Ferneyhough/Xenakis
ok not really, i don't really enjoy ferneyhoughs music, but i often listen to music a Little more "out-there"
Hahaha
So like a 7.5?
Level: Ligeti
I feel so cheated realising this is a midi track xD The piece is so hard that any mechanical elements I would have put down to the performer, crazy what technology can do.
Bartok's piano music really shows his brilliance. In 1972 I bought an old used record with Bartok's piano music which included Out of Doors, Sonatine, Allegro Barbaro, A Bit Drunk and some others. I played the hell out of that record. Then I heard his String Quartet No. 4 last movement, Allegro Molto on the local college radio station and it changed my life. Bartok is one of the greatest composers ever. Sadly, Bartok died in poverty which prompted Stravinsky to change the way he went about collecting wages from his own music.
Every time I listen to Bartók, my reaction is always a mix of "oooh I like this" and "who could like this?!"... hope to learn the theory behind it someday
The melody is breathtakingly beautiful. I'm sure Mozart would have loved to have taken lessons from him.
melody???
D ailleurs au début je croyais que c' était Mozart j' avais confondu 😏
@@jarokadezso 0:11 is the first one
Bartók has made me completely impervious to any sense of dissonance.
Jonas Katona I went through the very same thing listening to Miles Davis's electric period, specifically the album Bitches Brew (though other music may have primed me as well). In fact it lead me to seek out dissonance in music.
For me Meshuggah did the job... :p
People who complain about Schoenberg should just listen to lots of Bartok (and perhaps Liszt too) and then come back to it
I still Can't enjoy Schoenberg pieces.

Musiques Nocturnes is breathtaking
It sounds like something from a horror movie! The fact that no-one's used it in a film before is INSANE!
this is the best description ive seen in any video :'D
Great job! Thank you for doing this (and your many others, but this is my favorite).
Argh, who has switched the midi drum part to Piano sound ?
+Lionel CRISTINO that's actually an interesting comment
+Peter Vogt lol it was a joke... i did play Bartok when i was young...
:) a passing glimpse at the score may lead one to suspect a percussion part... Respect! I am just learning to listen to Bartok. Playing is in another dimension....
+Peter Vogt I agree . Cristino comment is something one can reflect on
XD
Bartok invented djent.
TROPPO
HallMonitor WAUTKAB?
Hungarian rock resembles
胡david bro fuck Hungarian rock its a shit piece and everyone knows it
@@fryingwiththeantidote2486 No.
Musiques nocturnes sounds so haunting!
thank you thank you for posting this
Rock and Roll Bartok
Organized Chaos at its finest! Difficult to listen to, yes! Emotional, very! Also your descriptions of the pieces are fitting.
Bartok, what scene’s audio did you converted to midi?
A
i guess Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost the login password. I love any help you can give me!
@Gage Morgan Instablaster :)
@Paxton Orlando I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Paxton Orlando it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account !
Was lucky to witness a live performance of this and was inspired to create a musical portrait to this.
this is like Dillinger Escape Plan, but from the 20's. I dig it.
For someone who used Digital Performer, you did one hell of a good job.
Bang bang WHAM indeed, I love this piece so much
Hard to believe this is midi. Well done! An interesting 'take' on the piece
A truly magnificent work. Thanks for creating this version and sharing. Bartok the Great!!!!
Excellent audio editing!
I love Bartok.
Bravo como siempre Bartok es encantador y poderoso
I'm sure this is how Bartok concieved the nocturne. Here you can hear the progression better than how most pianist play it.
Clearly, one of his greatest works for piano!
This is one of those pieces I always come back to for another listen. So relentlessly enjoyable!
A wonderful performance.
The cluster chords in Musiques Nocturnes give me the heebie jeebies.
Well you win the award for the best liner notes.
I give like to this only for the nocturne, because it makes a lot of sense played like this and it's amazing
luv to learn this 1st one especially
I managed to learn the 1st mvt in only 4 days... but i certainly love all of them
supposedly Musiques Nocturnes was inspired by a night in a Hungarian forest, complete with the chirping of frogs and crickets, and a shepherd boy playing the flute in the distance.
En mis viajes nostálgicos a través de la música, Bartok representa un alto en el camino de esa juventud violenta y rompedora por la que solo quienes se atrevieron a volar tan alto como las águilas nos interesaban. Él fue sin duda alguna quien encarnaba el vigor insurrecto y la esperanza de un mundo donde solo la verdad triunfara, como sí la verdad tuviera una sola cara y esta no fuese su peor máscara. Pero en fin, lo propio de la juventud es barrer hacia afuera para dejar entrar aire fresco. Puertas abiertas. Y Dios sabe que Out of Doors las abre por completo hasta no dejar más que el viento nuevo y la sazón de una vida sin barreras. En Plein Air. Años aquellos de ilusión en los que creíamos que una vez cruzado el Cabo de Buena Esperanza todo era bonanza.
Excelente y sentido comentario.
pedro a. cantero me hubiera encantado ser un amigo tuyo.
También he visto sus comentarios en la Fantasía en Fa menor de Schubert, y sin conocerlo se comprende su genio.
That was beautiful
En algún momento de mi vida quise redactar así. Pero se me pasó.
This is a FABULOUS performance and recording. I believe THE best I have heard. Up front sound engineering makes all the difference
John Milbauer is my piano professor, and he recorded this in his Images album. I just stumbled to this recording as I’m looking for my next repertoire!
THIS IS BARTOK at his Finest. This performance is MAGIC and UNBELIEVABLE
Usually people throw the metal comparison randomly on classical music. But THIS is actually metal as fuck
I consider this the best of his compositions.
Even better than his piano concertos ?
@@Dylonely42 or string quartets etc.
Bartok a hero of mine, though oddly enough, outside of [Mainly, since I was a little boy]CONCERTO FOR ORCHESTRA and MIKROKOSOMOS...as well as THE MIRACULOUS MANDARIN, MUSIC FOR STRINGS PERCUSSION AND CELESTE and of late, THE PIANO CONCERTOS and the SIX STRING QUARTETS, I am clearly not as conversant as I might. One lifetime, SO MUCH MUSIC. This was a pleasant surprise. Bartok really speaks to my sense of rhythm and harmonic tension. Oddly enough, THE CHASE made me think of Sun Ra.
If you haven't heard "Sonata for two pianos and percussion" yet, don't miss it!
My Bartok journey as well. CONCERTO as a little boy. Still so much to learn
Hermosa!!! 🎼🎹💐👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Inmensa, impresionante conjugación de piano y percusión tan percutiva como una flecha entre los ojos!!!!!!
Very relaxing
Hey man, i love how you change the music in some passages, you make them better. You have my admiration. But although I also love the sound effects you add to your piano, I would love to hear them without those effects the way you play them. But what amazes me is the reason of why you are not playing in big halls in front of a huge public and being famous all around the world as one of the best interpreters of Bela Bartok. This is amazing, seriosly.
+soigon
Read the description. "Created, edited and mastered in Digital Performer 5.13 (MOTU), using Ivory (Synthogy) sound banks.". The notes are being played by a computer with a collection of sounds, not a pianist. Pay attention and you'll see that unless indicated in the score, not once does the tempo or dynamic change. The score's written/edited very well though
I got turned on to Bartok via a Frank Zappa interview in the 80's, it made my list of 'what to listen to when you want to hear something different', along with Crack the Sky, Schoenberg and a few others. Perfect when I am in the mood for it, otherwise I give it 7 out of 10. My fiancé' hates it so let's bump it up to 8 out of 10. ;)
Oh Yeah! Like that!!!
9:46 that is truly beautiful it suite the night
Wow. I feel out of breath just listening to the last movement.
Genius
sounds good!
It's not all about the music only - meaning the notes itself. It gives a kind of feelings, momentum, it's a bit like a watiching Picasso paintings or might be like observing your own thoughts.
. . .alludes to, pays homage to Ravel - "Gaspard de la Nuit" . . .
you may or may not like his music, but it is never boring. I love his simple duets for violin.
Is there anyone who doesn't like it?
@@jarokadezso many people hate "strange" harmonies and disonance.
Nice
definitely hear how Ligeti was inspired by him
カッコよすぎて笑ったw
バルトーク最高か！
Good to hear, where Tan Dun got the inspiration for his soundtrack to ‘The Banquet.’
I Love Bortok
Now this is the kind of Bartok piece that inspires all the heavy metal musicians.
Musiques Nocturnes is my favorite, with all those strange chromatic glissandos and grace notes. I would love to learn how to play it.
Wow
Bartok is my favorite!
I was freaking out into the second measure jeez it really sounds like a murderer banging on my door
Ah crap... I'm completely out of doors.
That's not the point....
It means outside
Without Bartok there will be no Tigran Hamasyan
there is a part in sacre that sounds like the beginning here
Played on MIDI Casio 1984 and viewed in Cubase 1500 :P
Hey, you're right!
I was wondering why this piece could've had more emotion in it... it's a freaking midi track
Your comments about the pieces, hahaha oh i can't
There is an error according to the sheet in 'Musiques Nocturens' when the choral tune enters; on 8:34 the audio file is playing a d# and not a d as it says in the sheet
There's another one at 12:22. The sheet music says D# and the MIDI file plays D. This is the type of thing where I would make my own MIDI file of it and listen to it instead, just to fix the mistake.
is this MIDI seriously? The chase is played so inhumane it is hard to believe its real but also hard to believe its MIDI.
what's midi?
@@nathanielwilson183 In essence, computer playing.
Está loco
6:40
this is spooky cool/love it
I wonder where did he get his folk song reference for this piece.
If anyone can send me the source of the piece that he referenced to, I would be appreciated.
I could not walk stright after listening to that "music"
+Stuart Campbell good question ask Bela.
if you struggle to see music in this, learn some theory, maybe you will even be able to remotely understand this music
Excellent, it sounds unbelievable realistic and authentic. Please read the comments here, and try to correct the mentioned tonal errors.
allarmunumralla! What fun you are with your perfect movement descriptions. The mystery pianist is fabulous. May we know who, please??? - Oh - is it John Milbauer?
how hard is this piece to play? (what grade is it)
I play the piano for about 9 years now (i'm 16 now) and it took me about 4 or 5 days to learn "With drums and pipes", the second movement probably took one and a half weeks for me to learn, so the pieces aren't that hard...
The difficult thing about the First movement is that you have to play many nineths in the left hand, but otherwise it's a relatively simple piece... also it is worth to mention that the piece sounds waaay better on a grand piano than on an upright...
The second movement is a rhythmical challenge at first (form bars 9 to 45 it changes time signature every single bar) and memorizing all the notes and variations on the little structures will take some time, but it's certainly doable and you will find a lot of patterns in the piece...
Side note: I said it only took me a little time to *learn* the pieces, not to *master* them...
Interesting how the Night Music movement has the upper treble clef as a separate instrument!
４; the best.
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing !
I've loved Bartok's music for over 60 years, but find this piece terrifying. I wonder: maybe this is the out-of-doors that surrounded the peasant villages and farms of Hungary, Rumania, and Bulgaria where he searched out the music that became his music and made him as a composer. Maybe it is the out-of-doors beyond the cultivated land, before there were electric lights and maybe, where he traveled then, before there were even gas lamps--out where the night was truly dark and where there might still have been dangerous predators or at least, everywhere, strange, unknowable creatures.
Nosferatu
i want to learn rhis
I see this guy REALLY loves major key, or really ANY key.
I just noticed you're right! Shit, had me fooled.
After listen this I am agorafobic now 😵
What do all the mustaches in the score mean?
Sounds like music from a haunted house in a video game..
0:25 there's no limit
Holy robotic playing, Batman!
Very good!! Who plays?
I think he must have used a diff edition. I was too lazy last night to turn off the a/c so I could hear better, but this morning i checked, he plays, e.g. at 7:00, an F# octave, but top note is G.
In the first part, at 0:41 there appears a very good melodic line, but to 0:59 it totally collapses. Do you think it would be great if Bartok saved and developed it? I do.
I think stuff like this all the time. I think composers avoid fulfilling the listener's expectations like this because doing so might give a sense of "completeness" way too soon for their intentions.
Or they just can't come up with any more to add to that melody.
The melody comes in again at the end of the first movement and derivatives of the rhythm come before and after that part. Actually now that I'm in the second Movement I hear it in here too. But the part that really gets me is the lydian stuff around 0:28. I started learning this on the piano once and to play that part slowly while practicing it is beautiful.
But he already grinds it for quite a while. Incidentally, a real pianist might bring out the left hand part a little more at 0:50 or so.

Who played these?
J' ai dû rater un épisode là ... Il s' agit d' une création " midi " ? Pas de pianiste ? ... What the f... C' est encore plus fort !
Plus fort non je dirais pas ça... Si c'est du boulot de retranscrire une partition en midi, c'en est bien plus encore soit d'apprendre la pièce à ses dix doigts, soit d'apprendre à jouer ce qu'on lit si parfaitement qu'on a besoin que d'un autre lecteur pour tourner les pages...
Et je confirme c'est du midi... en écoutant les vélocités, la dynamique de chaque note... L'instrumentiste cherche bien sur à avoir un jeu égal dans toutes ses phrases, mais ici c'est si parfait que c'en est inhumain...
Ou alors peut-être la pièce a réellement été jouée, mais ensuite corrigée, note à note ou par groupes de notes... En vélocité comme en quantisation (mise en place rythmique)... :)
Nightmares in the outdoors....
