[edit] "Analysis" section

As a Wikipedian:

(A) The length of this section indicates that it is either original, and therefore falls under original research (in this form it should be published in a musical publication, and then adapted to fit the needs of an encyclopedia not generally frequented by musicians), or not original, therefore uncited (and possibly plagiarism).

(B) It only covers the first movement of a three-movement work, and is therefore incomplete.

As a music student and musician:

(C) It is a poor quality analysis; it pays little attention to form and less to harmony, apparently concentrating mainly on orchestral effects and examining individual sections rather than examining how they (and affiliated lines) fit together as a whole; it goes into far too much detail without actually providing much information.

Suggestion: It should be removed and replaced with something else. (I'd do it myself whenever I find time to extract a copy of the Bartók 1938 from the local music library.) ~ UI (talk) 04:06, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
