Is this Bartók's only pleasant slow movement? (Not saying any of the others are bad - they're often incredible - just that most of them are quite unsettling)
@@poppacapps5573Frank was still astoundingly original. He synthesized disparate musical styles and influences in a way that was/ is both ingenious and incomparable. His compositions are brilliant: complex, unorthodox, melodically and harmonically sophisticated, and arranged to perfection. That being said, no one is completely original or without influence... that's just a given. This includes Captain Beefheart, by the way, who was influenced by a plethora of both well known and obscure R&B artists. He learned how to grunt and snarl from somebody.
I can't believe there's someone who's got this composer down. He's a genius!
Thank you Frank Zappa for introducing me to this wonderful composer.
Finale actually is a bit Zappian i think
Thanks, Zappa
Bartók's musical voice is unique. He is a master of clarity of texture (as is Copland) and rhythmic energy.

Me too, I had to see how it compares to Fur Elise or Chopin's Nocturnes

Is the 2nd mvt a Beethoven quote? From op. 132?
Elegante
Sounds complete to me
Bartok's inspiration failing here and he started to repeat himself.
No. This concerto explores different musical vision than first and second piano concerto.
