The String Quartets

Album by Béla Bartók & Éder Quartet

The String Quartets are a set of six string quartets by Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, composed between 1908 and 1939. They chart Bartók's development from a late-Romantic and folk-influenced language to a compact, modernist chamber style characterised by dissonant harmonies, driving rhythmic vitality and inventive textures, and they occupy a central place in his chamber output and the 20th-century string quartet repertoire.
