Mention must be made of the cut (measure 426 to 555) which Szell made near the end of
the finale of the Bartok. The section he omitted is that mysterious and beautiful
typical Bartokian "night music." Szell bridged the cut by the insertion of the first
bar of the previous phrase (measure 418), repeating it four times before jumping over
the omitted material to the great brass chords, which state the main theme of finale
in majestic columns, surrounded by swirling scales of strings and winds.

When questioned by his associate. Louis Lane, about the repeated bar being not in
Bartok's, Szell pointed out a parallel place in the composer's First Suite. Szell
felt that the fual section was weak and that he was improiving the piece, just as
Bartok improved the ending.

改変について同僚のルイス・レーンに「バルトークのスタイルと異なるのでは」と問われた
セルは、フーガの部分が弱点だと感じるので、改善（improve）したのだと答えた。
