I’ve listened to your sublime lectures on the wonderful Shostakovich quartets, and also those you gave on the Beethoven Quartets more times than I could count….. Will there ever be a similar lecture series on the *other* series of must-hear 20th century String Quartets: the 6 quartets by Bartók? I feel it’s a glaring omission. 2 out of the 3 greatest sets of string quartets down, one to go…… Make it happen!
Thank you, Mr. Parloff. Please point us to other insightful Bartok lectures.

43:58 astonishing how authentic the source for that iconic theme is!
Isn't an Aeolian Mode identical to a Natural Minor scale?
Of course when Bartok was a student the Liszt Academy was still in the original building that Liszt had donated.
Thanks for sharing this, it's very interesting. Whose recordings of Bartok's piano music are being used? They're lovely.
