Would anybody know the names of the musicians playing this piece?
-
This is my favourite movement from my favourite Bartok Quartet. Thanks for the upload.
-
You know what I think is one of the things that makes Bartok's quartet music so fascinating, is the way he wrings from those 4 instruments a sound world as rich as one that most composers could only get from an entire orchestra.
-
And they do all that stuff unconsciously? Think up melodies in 45/53 timing without even being that aware of the complexity of the rhythm?
-
...What I love about Bartok and many other 20th century composers is that they were often trying to emmulate the sounds they heard in traditional folk music and then ended up creating something modern and avante garde. Charles Ives, Stravinsky, Bartok, Ginastera, Villa Lobos for the most part they were all trying to copy folk tunes!

It's no coincidence that Bartok, one of the great innovators of rhythm loved bulgarian music.
Bulgarian folk music is as far as it gets rhythmically,
I found a bulgarian song in 33/16 time!
It's counted 8+3+4+4+2+3+2+3+4
or 15+9+5+4 and this is a DANCE
Yeah! I went there!!

the time in this piece is exactly what turned me on about it. And also the middle section with the high violin ostinato. Also the cello playing an A5 as a harmonic lol

Bartok was such an original: this movement is in what he often called "Bulgarian" time: a fast 9/16 divided as 4+2+3.
It was a time signature that he encountered in his studies of Bulgarian folk music, and this movement is a good example of the folk influences showing through in Bartok's music.
