- String Quartet No. 2 (Bartók)
The String Quartet No. 2 by Béla Bartók was written between 1915, and October 1917 in Rákoskeresztúr in Hungary.
[

#"Moderato"
#"Allegro molto capriccioso"
#"Lento"
In a letter to André Gertier, Bartók described the first movement as being in sonata form, the second as "a kind of rondo" and the third as "difficult to define" but possibly a sort of ternary form.
The work is influenced by Debussy. It was dedicated to the Waldbauer-Kerpely Quartet, and it was they who gave the piece its premiere on 3 March 1918 in Budapest. The work was first published in 1920 by Universal Edition.
