We continue with Bartók's "Music for Strings, Percussion & Celesta"; today's post is the third movement, the Adagio. One interesting part of the Adagio is the opening xylophone solo, apparently based on the Fibonacci sequence; it employs the rhythm 1:2:3:5:8:5:3:2:1, though of course in this case the sequence mirrors itself, as it works by subtraction after reaching the number eight. For more about this composition, please see the AllMusic entry &/or the Wikipedia page.
