I realized that I need to spend more time listening to and analyzing music, especially music I am less familiar with. At the library yesterday I found a recording of Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra. I know we studied it in college, and I think I remember finding it difficult to listen to. Not so now! I am not only enjoying the variety of textures, the tonalities, and learning about Bartók’s concept of Night Music.
I am also enjoying some of Bartók’s string quartets - No. 3, second movement, No. 4, 4th movement.
