Containing all of Bartók’s six string quartets, volume 29 of the Complete Edition appeared in May 2022. The edition is preceded by in-depth introductory studies in English, Hungarian, and German that explore not only the genesis and reception of the quartets, but also provide the most detailed guidance to date in questions concerning the notation and performance of the music. The volume also includes the critical edition of Bartók’s analyses of String Quartets Nos. 4 and 5 in English translation. The critical commentary to this edition will appear in volume 30 in early January.
