Among Bartók’s most impressive achievements were his six string quartets, all of them very elaborate major works, and all very different from one another. They were composed between 1908 and 1939, a period that encompassed virtually his entire mature career in Europe. Bartók’s intense cultivation of the genre, one of the emblems of the European “classical” tradition, attests to his concerns both for synthesizing the particularly national with the universal, and for conceiving the universal in terms of tradition and advancement in equal measure.
