Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, Sz. 116
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июл 2024
- Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra is one of his best-known, most popular and most accessible works. Like his fourth and fifth string quartets (1928 and 1934), the piece is in five movements, arranged in what is called an "arch" form, in which the first and fifth movements are related, as are the second and fourth, with the third movement functioning as the keystone of the arch. The Concerto's opening bars present a theme of rising fourths in cellos and basses, answered by tremolando strings and fluttering flutes in Bartók's characteristic "night music" style. Trumpets, pianissimo, chant a pungent, short-phrased chorale on which the theme of the main Allegro vivace is based. A lyrical second theme (4:08) is introduced by the oboe, but the mood remains dark as the material is developed. Only when brass erupt in a modal fugato section (6:37) is there the suggestion that things may lighten. Bartók noted that the progress of the concerto was toward light from initial darkness, and that the thematic material of the fugato will return in modified form as the basis of the joyous moto perpetuo finale.
The second movement is titled "Games of Couples," and presents woodwinds in successive pairs, with close intervallic relationships derived from Dalmatian folk music. The syncopated rhythm that accompanies these games -- performed by side drum without snares -- carries over into the middle section, a soft chorale for brass (12:25). Bartók described the keystone third movement, "Elegia," as a "lugubrious death-song," in which unsettled "night music" effects alternate with intense, prayerful supplications (again related to the chorale-like material that pervades the first half of the work). The subsequent "Interrupted Intermezzo" presents the first real carefree moments of the work, with its satiric treatment of the march theme from Shostakovich's "Leningrad" Symphony (25:30), which Bartók heard in a radio broadcast. Bartók scholar Elliott Antokoletz notes that the movement's warm, cantabile melody for violas (24:31) quotes a popular song by Zsigmond Vincze, "You are Lovely, You are Beautiful, Hungary," bringing an unmistakable note of homesickness to the music. The finale opens with a leaping call to order for all four horns unison, followed by a wild moto perpetuo dance, in which the succeeding episodes hardly stop for breath. Bartók provided two endings, the first rather abrupt, the second more traditionally climactic, and making use of the upward-moving minor third motif that served as an intervallic motto for Bartók in many works. The alternate ending is the one that is usually played.

"Ok so which instrument do you want your concerto to feature?"
Bartok: *YES*
(D) All of the above
Si la perfection est de ce monde...alors la voici.❤
This is my favorite piece ever. It's the culmination and final step in tonal music. When I save up enough I'll buy the full score hard copy. I could study this piece forever.
Mine too. Has been ever since I first heard it as a teenager in the 70s.
based
I have to say, seeing the score and hearing the music, what a fantastic use of the internet and streaming video. I know it's not new, but it's a thrill, as if I'm looking over the composer's shoulder. Thank you for this! Incidentally, I came to Bartok after it was referenced in a reader comment in a New York Times article on The Rolling Stones' new album, "Hackney Diamonds." Again, the internet...
One of the most amazing pieces of music ever written in all of human history!
respect to the people who performed this whole piece
The ending EVERY TIME >>>>>
this ending is fantastic, yeah, but you may be interested to know that Bartok actually used a different ending at the premiere of this piece that was far more disappointing and didn’t sound conclusive at all
The Ending.. every fu***ng time!!!!!!
@@dukeofcurls3183 thats not interesting at all
Right
@@dukeofcurls3183 right
13:27 is so cool. That third bassoon part adds so much
I love how he adds more depth and flourish to the original theme in the second movement. The Hungarian folk influence in his music is so entertaining, and the second movement here is such a great example of that.
Bartok is still underappreciated but so influential....His ability to capture mood and imagery through music has made him a perennial favourite of movie score composers - Some just stick his work in straight (how many people know that all the 'scary music' from The Shining is actually his work?) Others like John Williams just cite him....Compare any 'comical' or 'lighthearted' movement from a classic Williams score to this piece alone and you will find some very exact matches.
I am sure John Williams is extremely aware of Bartok's work and does not intend to pass it off as his own. That is a little unfair.
@@adam4757 Oh no, I have always been a great admirer of Williams and love his works. No artist is without inspiration and no creator creates without personal influences. Lucas gave him a tough challenge, reinvent symphonic scores for the modern age, and he did so, calling upon the greats of the 20th century and reworking them into something new and dynamic yet also timeless - It's just fun to catch his influences and templates here and there (as a Dutch concert here on RUclips did, dedicating a fair part of the second half challenging the audience with classical pieces from the likes of Bartok, Stravinsky, Korngold and Britten and asking them to spot what they were mutated into)
Actually, while The Shining did use some Bartok, it also made heavy use of Penderecki's music. Both composers were highly influential.
Frank zappa
The Shining also uses some Ligeti
Came for trombone glissandos
And stayed for the musical masterpiece
Oh you should check out The Miraculous Mandarin :)
25:50 Here you have a Trombone glissandos! 😅
The brass section from 12:20 is lovely. I studied Concerto for Orchestra in school many many moons ago. The second movement was my favourite movement, the one I would enjoy revising most. So dark yet playful.
Me also! Spent a large chunk of a semester on this piece in music history at Arizona State University.
the chorale was beautiful
Me too. It's poignant. Would have worked great also as a stand-alone piece.
Saw this performed in 1981 by the Israeli Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta in Milwaukee, the home town of Golda Meier.
.....Unforgettable!

BRO. you are a life saver.
10:53 PARALLEL FIFTHS ARE OKAY
not only okay, they sound fantastic here
Pretty sure even Bach used them a few times
@@GeoffreyWilliamson-mt7vhthats because parallel fifths are indeeed fine, its just that they shouldnt be used much (in most cases) and theres rules to them. youll still find parallel fifths in music of composers who never really broke rules much and followed traditional form (eg bach, chopin, mozart, etc)
I LOVE the clarity of the oboes and flutes in the 2nd movement. Also, the section at 11:34 gives me such CHILLS when strings rapidly trill and the trumpets are playing a major 2nd apart. GENIUS!
No words About the strange Beauty of the Clarinets playing in minor sevenths?
DerSibbe I didn't even think about that! Damn 👌😁
Yes haha Bartok really knew how to make things sound cringy and comical
@@slateflash How uneducated.
@@theorymaster6310 Damn i'm so insulted
The best work I have ever heard!!!!
A work of exhilarating color and syncopated rhythm! Masterfully conducted by the late Pierre Boulez and the always amazing Chicago Symphony. Such incredible melodies and counterpoint in this Bartok masterpiece.
That clarinet solo at 6:01 is so perfectly controlled yet musical, and the timbre so silky, I had to look up the recording. Of course it's the CSO in '93 so principal is Larry Combs. I just love his sound so much.
@@aafrophonee The one Larry Combs was apart of ;-)
An incredible work by an incredible composer.
As a Hungarian, my favourite is the last movement 😁
24:32 makes me feel like I’m standing in front of a Castle in the pastorale fields of the Hungarian countryside…
Reminds me a bit of the studio ghibli music

Also known as.... Indiana Jones doing anything that is semi- action-oriented so as to frame a dialogue. ... But in all seriousness, one of the most unique pieces and all of musical history and its exploration of orchestration based tonality with regards to the use of specific intervals.

Perfection with rich details
The music played at the "climax" of almost every episode of The Incredible Hulk (Bixby &
Ferrigno) reminds me so much of the music at the end of this piec, I am sure Joseph Harnell was influenced by Bartok.
This makes me want to dance and sing :)
Go ahead.
YESSSSS THANK YOU!!
25:30 Alta referencia a Shotakovich 7°Sinfonía Leningrado 1°movimiento (marcha)
Jajaja, sí. De hecho, es una parodia a la música de Shostakovich, porque le desagradaba la idea de que Shostakovich fuera el preferido de Stalin por hacer música "linda". Entonces, le tenía un desagrado barvaro, y a modo de burla, uso ese fragemento de la sinfonía, ridiculizándolo contextualmente.
lol si jajajajaj
Its actually also covered from shostakovich, the original is from Franz Lehars Operette "Die lustige Witwe" the song "da ging ich zu Maxim". Franz Lehar was Hitlers favourite composer, his wife was Jewish, but Hitler named her an Honorary citizen and made an exception for her...

Thank for posting music/score of this 20th century masterpiece. I had to catch myself on first hearing, reading score, and seeing timpani parts but not able to hear timpani?! Was able to hear 2nd time round. Stankey Kubrick knew he had to include Bartok's and Ligeti's music in his films to make them great. 👍
7:01 goes SO HARD💯💯
Hermosa obra, escrita por encargo de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Boston, estando Bartok en un hospital de Nueva York como enfermo terminal de leucemia. Destaca especialmente el uso del motivo del tema popular "El Cumbanchero" de Rafael Hernández "Jibarito" en el quinto y último movimiento.
This Concerto was not composed while Bartok was in the hospital.
May the 4ths be with you
I love the Finale

24:32 Viola DYAO audition excerpt
0:00 is a good place to start. ^
wow, that was soooooo clever 🙄
Now I understand the "Giocco delle Coppie" title. A tiny and grotesque scherzo developed on wind instrument pairs, while the strings give additional sustain (pizzicatos, trills, tremolos) and a drum plays.
First you note the bassoons singing a 6th apart, then the oboes by a 3rd, the clarinets by a 7th, the flutes by a 5th and the trumpets close with major 2nds. Even the chorale part is written in pairs (despite the tuba being alone). Two trumpets and two trombones set the tone, while the tuba gives more colour and the drum joins in and punctuates a little rhythmic fragment. When it returns, the 4-horns are divided in two pairs, while the tuba still gives sustain. In the recapitulation, there is a similar thing going on, except that some "roots" are changed, a third bassoon takes part in the "pair-game" and the A-clarinets join the oboes in inversion.
Wonderful description!
Bartok can't be played any better than by the mighty Chicago Symphony under Boulez!

Does anyone know why the harp part at 8:16 has both a d# minor and eb flat minor triad in the same spot? They’re technically the same chord so why would you need to have both?
Chase Ackerson In harps, the pedals serve to choose every note’s alterations. He wrote it like that because he wanted to do a chord with a metal stick, that can’t be simultaneously on 3 strings only. With this writing, you get the chord while touching a lot of strings.
Because Bartok..
It only makes sense for harps because the pedal mechanism allows for multiple strings to be adjusted to play the same pitch. Many composers do this when they want a louder or harsher tone on the harp
It's called enharmonic modulation. Look it up.
^ clearly YOU need to look that up, as that isn't what's going on at that moment.

The music at 25:... etc. also reminds me of Sibelius 5's 2nd movement, though I think the connection is of course unlikely.

Clarinet excerpt: 25:33 to 25:43
Omg this piece is soooo difficult to perform😂🙃
Not as hard as some Stravinsky I suppose, but I see your point.
That's why it's a concerto for orchestra!!! It's an orchestral work that gives each instrument a chance to shine!
A bit before 26:03, there is a reminiscence of Shostakovich's theme of the first movement of his seventh symphony. Which work was earlier?
It's a parody of that theme
peco
Shostakovich's 7th symphony, written in '41 during the siege of Leningrad and first performed in '42, was very popular in the U.S. because it symbolized the struggle of soviet people against the nazis. Several orchestras and conductors had it added to their repertoire. According to Sir Georg Solti who knew him well, Bartok was "fed up because he could not open the radio without hearing that symphony". So he decided to insert a parody of that particular part in his concerto (written in '43). Strangely, for a long time listeners and even music critics believed it was a quote from a Franz Lehar operetta.
@@pierrecostanzo2255 Well, whatever the case: Lehar wrote "The Merry Widow in 1905. The song "I'm off to Chez Maxim" has a striking resemblance to both Bartok and Shostakovich. Maybe Bartok was upset that Shostakovich used the theme by his countryman Lehar (who was a born hungarian, although he lived most of his life in Austria)
@@christianspillemose4074 It maybe, and indeed "I'm off to Chez Maxim's" is the tune which is referred to. I heard a series of interviews of Sir Georg Solti at the french radio, and ,he related a conversation he had had with Bela Bartok. it's Bartok himself who told him that several persons had spoken to him believing that he had put a quote from the Merry Widow, to which he had responded telling what I said about him being bored of hearing that symphony of Shostakovich. But perhaps indeed did he choose that particular part of the symphony because, as you say, it had that particular similarity to Franz Lehar's song. This 7th symphony, notwithstanding the extraordinary circumstances in which it was composed, and its character of testimony, is in my opinion one of the less interesting among Shosta's symphonies, and I think Bartok was aware of the fact that his own production was of a higher artistic quality, and bitter of the poor recognition in the public that had led him to the edge of poverty, and relying on the orders of a small circle of friends, among whom Koussevitzky who sponsored the Concerto.
