Bartók explains the form of his Fifth String Quartet, Sz. 102, and of the first movement in particular. The tonal centers of the first movement move upwards from one B-flat to the next via a whole-tone scale; it is organized in an arch-like sonata-allegro form, mirroring the large scale arch structure of the work as a whole.
