Complete String Quartets

Album by Béla Bartók & Keller Quartet

Complete String Quartets is the set of six string quartets by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed between 1908 and 1939. The works trace Bartók's development from late-Romantic and folk-influenced idioms to a mature modernist language characterised by dissonance, complex rhythms, modal and folk-derived melodies, and innovative string writing that is central to 20th-century chamber music.
