 | | Another of Bartok's masterpieces is the Solo Sonata for Violin. | | | Bartok wrote a large volume of piano works, most notably the brilliant Mikrokosmos (1926-37), a six-book collection of piano teaching pieces which, although simple in form, show his genius as a harmonic and rhythmic innovator. | | | Perhaps the best-known works of Bartok are the Concerto for Orchestra (1943), commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky for performance by the Boston Symphony, and the remarkable Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste (1936), which demonstrates Bartok's complete command of counterpoint and canon. |

| | Bela Bartok Biography |

| | Bela Bartok |
| | Bela Bartok not only is the greatest composer Hungary has produced, but his music - a unique synthesis of the Western classical tradition with mid-European folk music - is one of the outstanding musical achievements of the twentieth century. | | | Also through Kodily, Bartok was introduced to the music of Debussy, which was a revelation to him. | | | Bartok found a further and more enduring outlet for his nationalist sentiments in Hungarian folk songs, which he started collecting in 1904. |

| | Bela Bartok Biography |

| | Bela Bartok - There's a composer at the next station |
| | The striking thing about Mandarin, as in most of Bartok's music, is its terrifying contemporaneity. | | | He was the first composer to embrace multiculturalism, according equal respect to Balkan and North African musics which he collected on extended field trips. | | | Since the last flurry of activity in 1981 for the centenary of his birth, no orchestra outside Hungary has showcased his music, no reinterpretation has quickened international attention. |

| | Music Preview: Bela Bartok played by his own rules |
| | It is, however, in the unlikely genre of the string quartet, a niche of the musical world usually reserved for the sublime, apolitical and purely musical, that Bartok left a set of quasi-historical documents tracing the disasters of the time. | | | The composer famous for such works as "Concerto for Orchestra," "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta" and the opera "Bluebeard's Castle" also was a pioneer in the field of ethnomusicology, extensively cataloging the folk music traditions of his country. | | | To understand these concepts, visualize a given quartet as a glass of water imbued with a drop of ink representing folk music. |

| | Influenced by Mussorgsky and Debussy but most directly by Hungarian peasant music (and Strauss, still, in its orchestral pictures), the work, a grim fable of human isolation, failed to win the competition in which it was entered. | | | For two years (1912-14) Bartok practically gave up composition and devoted himself to the collection, arrangement and study of folk music, until World War I put an end to his expeditions. | | | He returned to creative activity with the String Quartet no.2 (1917) and the fairytale ballet The Wooden Prince, whose production in Budapest in 1917 restored him to public favour. |
