5-0 out of 5 stars Great edition of early Bartok
This is a great edition of Bartok's early piano music.The level ranges from easy but attractive pieces like the songs in "For Children" (based on Bartok's fascinating versions of Hungarian and Slovak folk melodies), to the more difficult "Two Elegies" and "Rhapsody".It also includes the "Fourteen Bagatelles", "Seven Sketches Op. 9", "Four Dirges", and some other minor pieces.I found a lot of the music absolutely impossible to play, since I'm not an accomplished pianist, but the songs in "For Children" were very attractive, even jazzy.Ignore the title -- most of the songs don't sound like children's music at all.They were the result of Bartok's earliest fieldwork in Hungarian and Slovak folkmusic, which he spent the rest of his life studying, recording, and reworking into distinctively modern forms.Despite the simplicity of the original songs, they led directly to his development as one of the most original and interesting composers of the 20th century.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction To Bartok
As this edition contains many pieces for beginners and intermediates, it is a valuable introduction to the tonal world of Bela Bartok.Would be good for recital pieces for students or just to sight read through for more advanced pupils.Some of the pieces sound much more difficult than they are!Highly recommended! ...

Book Description

The world knows Béla Bartók as a composer. The essays contained in this voluminous compilation disclose a side of the great Hungarian previously known to relatively few persons: Bartók the man of letters. Theorist, performer, collector, scholar, and composer, Béla Bartók is internationally renowned as one of the most important and influential musicians of the twentieth century. Throughout his life he wrote lectures and essays that dealt with virtually every aspect of European music. These essays, previously scattered in specialized journals, deal with the wide range of interests and expertise: folk music and musical folklore, the music of his contemporaries and great predecessors, a brief autobiography, the structure and performance of his own music, the sale of sound recordings, and music education.

I am a music composer and I have found the essays by Bartok compiled in this book very interesting and helpful.For example, there are several essays describing how Bartok organized many of his compositions.There are also several essays describing different types of folk music such as American, Rumanian, and Hungarian.There is an essay on the 'So-called Bulgarian Rhythm.'I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in learing about different types of folk music or anything about Bela Bartok and is compositions. ...

Editorial Review

Book Description
The basic principles of progression and the means by which tonality is established in Bartók's music remain problematical to many theorists. Elliott Antokoletz here demonstrates that the remarkable continuity of style in Bartók's evolution is founded upon an all-encompassing system of pitch relations in which one can draw together the diverse pitch formations in his music under one unified set of principles. ...

Larger size for failing eyes. I bought my first copy in the mid-60s, the miniature score, and paid almost 50% more for a score 50% smaller.If you collect scores, add this one to your collection!

5-0 out of 5 stars Solid score
This is a good full score of one of Bartok's most famous pieces.It includes some notes about the piece as well as the composer's original program notes.It also includes both the original and alternate endings to the 5th movement.I used this for study with a high school music class.

Editorial Review

Book Description
Bartók's music is greatly prized by concertgoers, yet we know little about the intellectual milieu that gave rise to his artistry. Bartók is often seen as a lonely genius emerging from a gray background of an "underdeveloped country." Now Judit Frigyesi offers a broader perspective on Bartók's art by grounding it in the social and cultural life of turn-of-the-century Hungary and the intense creativity of its modernist movement. Bartók spent most of his life in Budapest, an exceptional man living in a remarkable milieu. Frigyesi argues that Hungarian modernism in general and Bartók's aesthetic in particular should be understood in terms of a collective search for wholeness in life and art and for a definition of identity in a rapidly changing world. Is it still possible, Bartók's generation of artists asked, to create coherent art in a world that is no longer whole? Bartók and others were preoccupied with this question and developed their aesthetics in response to it. In a discussion of Bartók and of Endre Ady, the most influential Hungarian poet of the time, Frigyesi demonstrates how different branches of art and different personalities responded to the same set of problems, creating oeuvres that appear as reflections of one another. She also examines Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle, exploring philosophical and poetic ideas of Hungarian modernism and linking Bartók's stylistic innovations to these concepts. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars a truly eye-opening explanation of Bartok and his works!
I am a fan of history-and-criticism books (especially on musical topics),but ONLY when they read with the clarity of logic and the authority ofresourced research which is demonstrated by this wonderful book.Thepurposes and meanings which underlie so much of Bartok's work and music,from folk-song research to Cantata Profana and all of the stage works, arebeautifully revealed. It is a true inspiration to read about the milieuwhich helped to create the great sense of purpose which drove Bartok to hisgreatness. (Derrill Bodley, Professor) ... Read more

Editorial Review

Book Description
First published in 1953, Halsey Stevens's The Life and Music of Bela Bartok was hailed as a triumph of musicology and quickly established itself as the classic text.Stevens combined an authoritiative, balanced account of the Hungarian composer's life with candid insightful analyses of his numerous works.To Stevens, the high point of Bartok's genius was the chamber music, which he assessed was of a quality unrivalled by any other composer of the early twentieth century.But he evaluated Bartok's entire output with mastery, picking out the composer's strengths and weaknesses and conveying the essence of his compositional techniques.Stevens's views have greatly influenced the study of Bartok and Hungarian music over the last four decades.Issued in a revised edition in 1964, Stevens's work now appears in a third edition, prepared by the Bartok scholar, Malcolm Gillies.A comprehensive chronological list of works is added, together with a select bibliography and discography.Minor revisions to the text are suggested in a new Introduction, and the text is enhanced by eight pages of photgraphs, some of them little known. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A must-buy for every Bartok fan.
An excellent book on the great Twentieth-Century composer, being both a biography in the usual sense, but also providing definitive analyses of his major works. The detailed description of Bartok's six string quartets, leaves little more to be said of them -- unless you want to go to monographs like Prof. Leo Treitler's Ph.D dissertation on the Fourth Quartet alone. A must for any Bartok lover. [updated email address] ... Read more
