	Béla Bartók (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.

	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.
		Paula Bartok was fully aware of her son's musical gifts - his earliest compositions date from his ninth year - and she finally managed to find a permanent teaching position in Poszony (now Bratislava), where she found excellent piano and harmony teachers for the young composer.
		In 1899 Bartok had to decide where to continue his studies, and although the Vienna Conservatoire was the obvious choice, Bartok followed the advice of his schoolfellow, Erno Dohnanyi, and went to the Budapest Academy.

	Bela Bartok - There's a composer at the next station

		Sixteen years ago, when Bartok's remains were on their way home from exile, Margaret Thatcher drove from Downing Street to Southampton to pay her respects.
		Bartok was a remote man, unknowable to close friends, perhaps even to his two wives, both of them ex pupils.

	Bela Bartok Biography
		Bartok's carer is very nearly a case study in the history of music in the twentieth century.
		That is one of the most engaging aspects of this collection: it is a detailed portrait of a composer who, like many others in the twentieth century, balanced an uncompromising modernism with a passionate devotion to traditional music, not only that of his native Hungary but of other parts of Eastern Europe as well.
		Bartok was a master of rhythm and vitality, and mixed them well in a 20th century blender to concoct his catchy folk tunes and dances.

		Bela Bartok (1881-1945) lived through the worst of the 20th century in a country caught in the middle of its power struggles, Hungary.
		Bartok did develop stylistically as a composer over the time these quartets were written, but each amazingly plumbs the same depth.
		It's an apt comparison, for Bartok was heavily influenced by Beethoven, certainly by his development of motifs, his introspection and his use of extra-musical elements.

	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.

		It may be a little hard to believe, but, were it not for the work of Bartok and those of his generation, the current folk music industry would probably be a completely different sort of beast.
		A happy bit of providence chimed in when Bartok was informed that a certain Milman Parry from the United States had successfully recorded thousands of songs and tunes in Yugoslavia during the early '30s, in a search for the origins of the works of Homer.
		Thus, the Bartoks -- Bela and his wife, Ditta Pasztory-Bartok -- arrived at New York in late October of 1940 for a lecture and recital tour which ended in March of the following year, when he began work on the Parry recordings.
