	Bela Bartok (1881 - 1945) - Find A Grave Memorial
		Bartok was also one of the founders of ethnomusicology (the study of folk music and music of non-western cultures), and his own compositions combined modern techniques with the elemental force of his homeland's rustic songs and dances.
		Bartok eventually earned the admiration of musicians, critics, and musicologists, but his music was considered too barbaric and unusual for mainstream acceptance and was not really appreciated by audiences until after his death.
		Bartok's stylistic evolution went through several phases, beginning with an early infatuation with Brahms and Richard Strauss, but one thing remained constant: all the music he wrote after 1907 was influenced in one way or another by his folk research.

	Béla Bartók
		Bartok started his professional career as a pianist, and made several successful tours of the European continent after his graduation from the Academy in 1902.
		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.

	Sonata Recital: Joseph Szigeti and Bela Bartok, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Bela Bartok was not only an accomplished pianist but one of the most influential composers of his era.
		It was with that crushing burden that they transplanted their culture to a new, hopefully temporary home, in the symbolic form of a recital at the Library of Congress, the shrine of intellectual freedom.
		But Bartok and Szigeti's highly-charged approach is nonetheless revelatory and highly valid, both on its own terms and as a sincere tribute from one great composer to another.

		I had hoped that this wouldn't be a caterwauling show, consisting of Bartok's screams and other cat noises while eating and 'doing' his daily toilet visit.
		While Song For Bartok (track 4) consists of acoustic structures almost entirely, Street Jam (track 8) is a completely acoustic piece.
		Despite the fact that three of the latter pieces are marked with the traces of influences, that I've mentioned in the beginning of this review, all of them were performed up to the mark of the musicianship.

	Bartok the Magnificent @ Filmbug
		Bartok is obviously the hero of his movie, and he lives up to the role well.
		For his part, Bartok is all the more inspiring by how he resourcefully makes use of the physique he has.
		Bartok is more than just an amusing voice and more than just another unlikely hero--he is an inspiration for those who must confront tasks they know appear far beyond their means to carry out.

	Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Bartok the Magnificent
		Actually, Bartok came to our attention in 1998's Anastasia, where he memorably portrayed an Iago-like (as in Disney's Aladdin character, not the protagonist’s nemesis in Othello) role as Rasputin's cutesy chiropteran sidekick.
		However, he's out from Rasputin's shadow now (actually, since this is a prequel, Bartok hasn't yet fallen under his spell) and bats — as well as bat lovers — must be cheering this development, as Bartok the flying albino rodent gets his chance to rehabilitate bats' shamefully bleak reputation.
		Bartok does suffer from the familiar technical flaws of this sort of fare: the animation is clearly not up to the standard of theatrical releases.

		Bartok is a very simple game (initially) with the rules starting out very much like Uno.
		The major twist to this game is the Nomic-like ability to modify the rules (initially the winner does this at the end of the game).
		If Bill has only one card left, then he automatically draws another card (for failing to say Bartok), but the caller must make sure that Bill follows all the other rules (including Beeps, Quacks, et al.).

		Reiner was also a tremendous supporter of Bartok and one of the first conductors to champion his works.
		The climactic moments frequently jump at the listener like a crack of thunder, yet underlying it all is a supreme logic and a sense of balance.
		The absolute command and power that Reiner has over the orchestra is remarkable; Every bit of Bartok's complex rythms, rich orchestration, and contemporary harmonies are brought out in a such a stunning way that the piece itself sounds fresh every time you listen.
