His "Concerto for Orchestra", among Bartok's most popular pieces, yields much delight. Maybe give it a try sometime.
Glad you enjoyed the video! I remember having quite a lot of fun making it because this piece is surprisingly visual. And it's very stylized too, you definitely have to get used to the idiom. The pianist András Schiff has made a wonderful analysis of the 4th movement (the one with the imitations of night sounds). It's available on RUclips, and I recommend you watch it if you want to get a sense of what this piece is about.
Dont worry about it! Bartok is hard to get at first, you just need to listen some more. Its definitely an acquired taste. This piece was inspired by Stravinsky and uses the piano more rhythmically than melodically. It calls to a lot of folk elements, actually. The first part quotes a Hungarian folk song, the second part is imitating the feeling of riding a gondola in Venice with the rocking boat, The third is supposed to imitate poorly tuned bagpipes (seriously), the fourth imitates a nighttime scene, with all sorts of animal noises, and the fifth is a chase scene similar to that of his piece "The Miraculous Mandarin."
Creepy vibes are totally valid! Gidi, please don't give up on Bartok. His third piano concerto is fantastic and has many beautiful passages.
It goes hard is what it does
As someone else mentioned, Bartok’s Concerto for orchestra is fascinating. I also like his opera, Duke Bluebeard’s Castle.
In the future, I would suggest to do a reaction to Bartok's Allegro barbaro and Bartok's Piano Concerto No. 3, which is perfectly performed by my beloved pianist Martha Argerich
Thank you Gigi for getting me to listen to this piece. I wouldn't have normally. There are probably many clever things to say and references to make about this piece that I have no idea about. I have always found Béla Bartók one of the hardest to access. For me György Ligeti is a far more exciting and original Hungarian composer. It is just my subjective opinion though.
You don't have to understand it, you just have to let the notes affect you. The thing about Bartok is that a lot of his piano works have a very groovy vibe, so once you get used to that and his use of clusters, then you're good
lol it's supposed to be like... folk songs. That's his thing. So he mimics insects, but also he inserts snippets of folksong (like stravinsky) into his work.
I highly recommend The Miraculous Mandarin (or better yet, something... slightly more straightforward like his opera Bluebeard's Castle, or his OTHER slightly less popular but more tonally western classical ballet: The Wooden Prince.
even tho i've been playing piano for years. I have no idea what i just heard. It was interesting.
I think it's a very valid reaction to say "I don't get it". Percussion story you might like: Bartok was rehearsing the premiere of his 3rd piano concerto and the percussionist complained that the part was too hard...impossible to play. In fairness, the rhythms are complicated. (I think Bartok had to play the percussion part to prove it was performable). Bluebeard's Castle has one of the biggest resolutions in classical music...from dissonance to the loudest, biggest Cmajor chord ever...you'd like it.
Omggg
Yeah it can take a bit of work. Bartok moves me like no other composer though.
you need to react to Kristina Miller plays Strauss - Cziffra
'Tritsch Tratsch Polka' !!!
Can’t wait for the Cziffra reactions
This is probably one of the worst pieces to listen to as an introduction to Bartók . Haha It's not one of his most well known, and it's definitely one of his most experimental. I would suggest the Miraculous Mandarin, the opera Bluebeard's Castle (if you like opera), his viola and violin concertos, or his concerto for orchestra. He has many other great pieces, but these are probably the most approachable. Once you get a flavour of his style, weirder pieces like this one will make more sense
When I listen to his szabadban for the first time, I quickly fall in love with it
So I really love Bartok, (so much that my own Style is realy influenced of His Work, especialy pieces Like the one you Just heared. I think IT IS really Like human Sounds. Because a Lot of the fraces are really short and on Point with human Emotions, also the folk Song elements. Or Like in this Peace Nature Sounds. There is a very interesting Video of Andras Schiff playing and talking about this Peace. I really recument IT, If you are interestet in this music. Have a great time
I'd also recommend watching any performance by pianist Zoltán Kocsis playing Bartók. He and András Schiff had the same teachers in Hungary and they really get Bartók.
