The Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a central work not only in Bartok's ouvre: lt is also recognized as a key work in the music of the 20th century. [] ln spite of the work's monothematic conception, all four movements have their own individual character. The constant return of the fugal theme from the first movement gives an organic unity to a series of complementary moods. The theme appears either in its original form or in inversions, sometimes slow, in a chromatic trepidation, and elsewhere as an expression of pure diatonic dignity and joy. All in all, the work is a masterpiece both of construction and of musical poetry. (Ferenc Bonis, taken from the preface).
