Bartók, Hungary, and the renewal of tradition : case studies in the intersection of modernity and nationality

Summary:	"It is well known that Bela Bartok had an extraordinary ability to synthesize Western art music with the folk music of Eastern Europe. What this study makes clear is that, contrary to much prevailing thought about the great twentieth-century Hungarian composer, Bartok was also strongly influenced by the art-music traditions of his native country. Drawing from a wide array of material, including contemporary reviews and little-known Hungarian documents, David Schneider presents a new approach to Bartok that acknowledges the composer's debt to a variety of Hungarian music traditions as well as to influential contemporaries such as Igor Stravinsky. Considering representative works from each decade - from Bartok's graduation from the Music Academy in 1903 to his departure for the United States in 1940 - Schneider reads the composer's artistic output as both a continuation and a profound transformation of the very national tradition that Bartok repeatedly rejected in public. By clarifying why Bartok felt compelled to obscure his ties to the past and by illuminating what that past actually was, Schneider dispels myths about Bartok's relationship to nineteenth-century traditions and at the same time provides a new perspective on the relationship between nationalism and modernism in early twentieth-century music."--Jacket.  Read more...
