Is there a website where it explains how mathematics is connected to this piece? Or do you know how mathematics is related to this piece?

[@danielschaeffer1294]

It’s easy to see why so many avant-garde rockers as jazz people - Miles, Fripp, McLaughlin - fall in love with Bartok. He rocks!

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

In 1942 Bartok and I lived in the Bronx at the same time, only he was in Riverdale and I was on the Grand Concourse. He was 60 and I was one.

In cartoon fiction, The Archies lived in Riverdale 😂 lol

Is there another half to your statement? It feels like an incomplete statement, and we're confused reading it.

So what ?

[@davinasc_]

Thanks for all the work you are doing here. I am discovering a lot of great composers and masterpieces from composers that I like. Your channel is pure gold.

[@joshmills5219]

Absolutely bizarre stuff, and fascinating. I feel like John Williams must have studied Bartok's orchestration, since 1:10 feels like some part of E.T.

[@Abe648]

For sure. The Miraculous Mandarin sounds like a giant space battle to me in certain parts

[@mikebott6940]

@@Abe648 One hears that a lot, especially about borrowing from the Concerto for Orchestra.

[@mikebott6940]

Needless to say, this is awesome.

[@1Steins]

Really amazing piece, hope to play it eventually.

[@hanshorst871]

Thanks for uplaoding. I think its interesting how Bartoks Orchestration is. The strings have there one Sound and are very closed to the over,because they play mostly time unisono. The colourful themes are nice. Good work Bartok! Da ich aus Deutschland komme und noch die Schule besuche,bitte ich wegen meiner Englischen Grammatik um Entschuldigung.

[@LiuInstituteRavens]

interesting

[@425gabe]

I played this a music festival in 2007 knowing it would probably be a while before I come across it again.

[@paulchristopher2135]

Played it over 30 years. Haven’t got a whiff of it since.

[@klop4228]

I just heard it in a concert. Based on these comments, guess that's me for a good decade at least?

[@agogobell28]

AH this is so cool. I can’t help thinking back to the Freelancers 1991 arrangement of this, since that’s how I first heard it...

[@yagiz885]

Fascinating suite!

[@slateflash]

Finally someone did this one!!

[@CaptainPhen]

Superb quality

[@feloria1862]

14:23 - 14:45 reminds me of something Ravel/Debussy would write.

[@juliee593]

Oh yes you're right

[@ChrisBreemer]

What an endlessly fascinating piece the Dance Suite is ! Solti's taut and energetic way with this music, almost manic at times, can hardly be bettered. Many thanks for posting a video with score ! Isn't this the London Philharmonic Orchestra playing rather than the LSO ?

[@johnanderton4200]

No I believe it is the LSO, which was Solti's orchestra in the 1960s before he moved to Chicago. His work with the LPO (in Elgar etc) came later.

[@keyspark]

awesome stuff

[@slateflash]

7:52 great orchestration

[@TheSolidsoundwavesif]

Thanx for the time on Bl Brtk from Dance Suite from 1923 .

[@jacksonp2397]

Love the Shostakovich quote at 10:49

[@MsMaksim07]

You are confused with Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, there is a parody of Shostakovich.

The 3rd movement feels like something Copland would write

[@Stitch87654]

Completely unrelated to the piece but I like your new gif profile picture

[@Cmaj7]

I actually can’t see it spin. I was originally only going to have it for a few days but since seemingly only a few people can see it, I’ve left it.

[@Stitch87654]

Cmaj7 oh, I only see it spinning when te in my notifications :(

[@sukarnos3xy]

Epic

[@numpoi123]

The 3rd movement seems extraordinarily fast in some parts, too much so, in my opinion.

[@numpoi123]

Thanks for doing this as well. Didn't mean to sound ungrateful.

[@benkopal]

the metronome marks are even faster

[@Kris9kris]

@@benkopal No, the metronomes are slower in the 3rd movement. Solti managed to disregard every metronome change there and decided to conduct the whole thing in one continuous tempo.

[@andrewbell1595]

[@neil_1707]

The third movement sounds very Oriental

[@jonaskatona7136]

That's just influence from Hungarian folk music, which uses a lot of pentatonic scales. Hungarian folk music is at least partially of Asian origin.

[@EddieChung]

Nice piece! Is it possible to get the pdf of this?

[@Cmaj7]

Here's the edited pdf I used in this video: www.dropbox.com/sh/sfazfdhvv2ic00b/AABcbIHRsUHTt8ntF8yqLnlna?dl=0 The original is on IMSLP.

Cmaj7 oo right thanks!

Trombones calm down please

Early Ligeti's style for inspiration

[@remomazzetti8757]

Ligeti was born the same year this piece was written. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

[@ZootBurger]

😂😂😂 🤡

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

@@remomazzetti8757 I think you misunderstood. The poster was saying that Bartok's folky pieces were the model for Ligeti's early, Hungarian-period work.
