Through his far-reaching endeavors as composer, performer, educator,

and ethnomusicologist, Béla Bartók emerged as one of the most force-
ful and influential musical personalities of the twentieth century. Born
in Nagyszentmiklós, Hungary (now part of Romania), on 25 March
1881, Bartók began his musical training with piano studies from the
age of five, foreshadowing his lifelong affinity for the instrument. Fol-
lowing his graduation from the Royal Academy of Music in 1901 and
the composition of his first mature works -- most notably, the sym-
phonic poem Kossuth (1903) -- Bartók embarked on one of the classic
field studies in the history of ethnomusicology. With fellow country-
man and composer Zoltán Kodály, he traveled throughout Hungary,
Romania, and elsewhere, collecting thousands of authentic folksongs;
one of the iconic images of Bartók is a photo of the composer and
some Transylvanian peasants surrounding a gramophone, the main
tool of his research. His studies eventually came to encompass folk
music of Slovak, Romanian, Bulgarian, and even Turkish origin. Bartók's immersion in this music
lasted for decades, and the intricacies he discovered therein, from plangent modality to fiercely
aggressive rhythms, exerted a potent influence on his own musical language.
In addition to his compositional activities and folk music research, Bartók maintained a busy
schedule of teaching and performing. The great success he enjoyed as a concert artist in the
1920s was offset somewhat by difficulties, sometimes exacerbated by the composer's frank man-
ner, stemming from the tenuous political atmosphere in Hungary. Much of Bartók's ambivalence
toward native country grew from the circumstances surrounding the premiere of his opera Blue-
beard's Castle (1911). The opera was rejected for a prize by the Hungarian Fine Arts Commission,
which deemed it "unplayable," and it remained unheard for seven years. When it was finally
premiered at the Royal Hungarian Opera in Budapest in 1918, Bartók was pressured to remove
the name of librettist Béla Balázs, whose political views were deemed unacceptable by the gov-
ernment. After refusing to suppress Balász' name at subsequent performances, Bartók finally
withdrew the work. Twenty years passed before the opera was again staged in the city. Such cir-
cumstances, including later charges of "lack of patriotism," led the composer to virtually cease
performing in Budapest. As the specter of fascism in Europe in the 1930s grew ever more power-
ful, he refused to play in Germany and banned radio broadcasts of his music there and in Italy. A
concert in Budapest on 8 October 1940 was the composer's farewell to the country which had
provided him so much inspiration and yet caused him so much grief. Days later, Bartók and his
wife set sail for America.
In his final years Bartók was tormented by poor health. Though the privation he endured was
somewhat less severe than has often been suggested, his time in America was marked by a con-
stantly precarious financial situation. He supplemented his reduced performing income with uni-
versity-sponsored ethnomusicological research; further assistance came from the music licens-
ing organization ASCAP (which subsidized his medical treatment) and from a commission for his
final orchestral masterpiece, the Concerto for Orchestra (1943). Though Bartók's prospects
seemed sunnier in the final year of his life, his last great hope -- to return to Hungary -- was
dashed in the aftermath of World War II. He died of leukemia in New York on 26 September 1945.
The composer's legacy included a number of ambitious but unrealized projects, including a Sev-
enth String Quartet; two major works, the Viola Concerto and the Piano Concerto No. 3, were
completed from Bartók's in-progress scores and sketches by his pupil, Tibor Serly.
From its roots in the music he performed as a pianist -- Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms --
Bartók's own style evolved through several stages into one of the most distinctive and influential
musical idioms of the first half of the twentieth century. The complete assimilation of elements
from varied sources -- the Classical masters, contemporaries such as Debussy, folksongs -- is
one of the signal traits of Bartók's music. The polychromatic orchestral textures of Richard
Strauss had an immediate and long-lasting effect upon Bartók's own instrumental sense; his in-
dividual mastery of instrumentation is evident not only in works like Music for Strings, Percus-
sion, and Celesta (1936) and the Concerto for Orchestra, but also in his chamber music (espe-
cially the six string quartets), concerti, and stage works like Bluebeard's Castle and the ballet
The Miraculous Mandarin (1918-19). The former work is especially characteristic in its explora-
tion of expanded harmonic possibilities, from astringent dissonances generated from the minor-
second "blood" motive to sonorous parallel major chords in the manner of Debussy. Bartók
demonstrated an especial concern with form in his exploitation and refinement of devices like
palindromes, arches, and proportions based on the "golden section." Perhaps above all other
elements, though, it is the application of rhythm that gives Bartók's music its keen edge. Inspired
by the folk music he loved, Bartók infused his works with asymmetrical, sometimes driving, of-
ten savage, rhythms, which supply violent propulsion to works like Allegro barbaro (1911) and
the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion (1937). If a single example from Bartók's catalogue
can be regarded as representative, it is certainly the piano collection Mikrokosmos (1926-39), ori-
ginally intended as a progressive keyboard primer for the composer's son, Peter. These six
volumes, comprising 153 pieces, remain valuable not only as a pedagogical tool but as an ex-
haustive glossary of the techniques -- melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, formal -- that provided a ves-
sel for Bartók's extraordinary musical personality. -- Michael Rodman
