Bela Bartok 's Third Quartet was composed in 1927, and is dedicated to the Musical Fund Society, Philadelphia. It is in two movements, which are played without interruption. The work is definitely atonal in character, but some use is made of the Hungarian folk element. The combination of sharply dissonant intervals is to be noted, as is also the linear technique of composition, and the detailed working out of melodic and rhythmic elements, which is characteristic of the composer.

Aubrey Brain (horn)
Richard Strauss 's father, Franz Strauss , was the first horn player in the Munich Opera Orchestra, so that it was natural the son should know a deal about the instrument. The Horn Concerto is an early work written in his student days, when he was about seventeen. He composed a symphony at about the same time, which, though it was never published, has been several times performed, notably in England, in 1896. Neither work quite reveals or quite conceals the later Strauss of 'Till Eulenspiegel' and ' Ein Heldenleben
