String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.881369 Composed by Bela Bartok. Arranged by Ted Lucas. 20th Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary. 39 pages. Tuxedo Music Publishing #5022843. Published by Tuxedo Music Publishing (A0.881369). This may be the first string quartet arrangement of Bartok’s famous piano work Allegro Barbaro, as his music has only recently come into the public domain.  One of his first compositions for piano, written when he was 30 years old, Allegro Barbaro is a fast-paced and percussive piano work inspired by the melodies and harmonies of the Hungarian folk music that Bartok collected during his travels as an ethnomusicologist. One can also hear his early experimentation with bimodality and octatonic scales. This arrangement is based on both the published piano sheet music and Bartok’s own recorded performance of this work. His performance includes idiosyncrasies not included in the printed music and which have been incorporated in this arrangement. This is a great opener or an ideal encore for a string quartet concert.
