Bartok Concerto for Orchestra, Part 2

Bartok did not have an easy life in the US, and he was constantly
both homesick and horrorstruck by the news from across the ocean.
The final three movements of his Concerto for Orchestra display
some of that heartbreak, but also the life-affirming joy that
Bartok found in his final creative resurgence. Today we’ll talk
about the devastating 3rd movement, the odd fourth movement, a
movement that is playful, heartbreaking, and satirical all at
once, and finally we’ll explore the ecstatic final movement.
