Music For Strings, Percussion And Celesta - First Movement

SKU: HL.50610139

Bartok's music is of paramount importance for all Hungarian composers of the last hundred years: in the works of Gyorgy Kurtag we also find open or hidden references to the great predecessor at several places. This transcription for piano duet of the first movement of Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, this large-scale fugue, can be considered a composer's study for understanding the work as well as an interpretation conveying Bartok's composition to the audience in a specific way. The transcription was made for Gyorgy Kurtag Jr., the son of the composer Gyorgy Kurtag.
