Bartók’s six string quartets, generally acknowledged as being crowning achievements of twentieth-century chamber music, were influenced by a number of traditions: the European classical tradition (especially the music of Beethoven); late 19th-century music (especially the music of Strauss and Liszt); and the Eastern European folk traditions in which he became expert as he collected and recorded folk music. Many of the chapters of this book explore the role that these traditions played in Bartók’s six string quartets: in his approaches to form (often influenced by classical models, but with distinctive and original modifications), to harmony (frequently colored by late 19th- and early 20th-century chromatic techniques, especially in the first three quartets), and to rhythm and meter (one of the authors notes the influence of Beethoven in Bartók’s metrical procedures; another details the influence of folk rhythms). Another tradition that is dealt with in this book is a particular performance practice that has arisen for Bartók’s loud and fast music—here discussed with reference to the opening movement of the Fifth String Quartet. The final chapters of this book deal with the legacy of the string quartets—particularly its influence on the string quartets of Ligeti and Kurtág. An Epilogue deals with Bartók’s lasting influence, and speculates on how Bartók’s project might be continued in the complex world of today.

The Juilliard String Quartet is a classical music string quartet founded in 1946 at the Juilliard School in New York by William Schuman. Since its inception, it has been the quartet-in-residence at the Juilliard School. It has received numerous awards, including four Grammys and membership in the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. In February 2011, the group received the NARAS Lifetime Achievement Award for its outstanding contributions to recorded classical music.

As of 2022, the quartet's members are violinists Areta Zhulla and Ronald Copes, violist Molly Carr, and cellist Astrid Schween.
