Premiere
[edit]Hmm, as with the String Quartet No. 3, sources seem to disagree on the date of the premiere - I've got a couple which give the date and performers I've given in the article, but another that gives the Kolisch Quartet in late 1928. As with the 3rd quartet (see Talk:String Quartet No. 3 (Bartók)), I'll try to check some really reliable sources sometime next week (if I remember...). --Camembert 03:10 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
- I couldn't quite get the sources I was hoping for, but I looked in Paul Griffith's Bartok (from the Master Musician Series) and it says March 20, as is given in the article. --Camembert
I added citations from my two sources on Bartok, but this entry could use more. Further, I only began to clean up the language. The writing for this entry had an enormous number of repeated phrases and words -- "movement" and "piece" and the like repeated ad nauseam. But I certainly did not finish the job. I also made a few cuts, deleting repeated ideas, and moved material around, providing better structure. I hope someone else can step in to complete what has been started.

1927?
[edit]Most sources have composed between July and September 1928. Wherefrom 1927? Please cite exactly. Schissel | Sound the Note! 01:37, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Possible reference to railroad?
[edit]Listening to the beginning of the fifth movement, I get a very strong sense of a train leaving the station. Has any well-known critic commented on this?
