This comprehensive, accessible guide to Bart^D'ok and his music contains up-to-date research by a new generation of Bart^D'ok scholars. Part I sets the cultural, social and political background in Hungary at the beginning of the twentieth century, and considers Bart^D'ok's research into folk music. Part II surveys his compositional output in all genres, relating changes in style to broad aesthetic issues, his folk music studies, and his activities as a pianist, music editor and teacher. The final part considers various aspects of reception and the variety of responses to Bart^D'ok's music in Europe and the United States. This is the first wide-ranging and accessible guide to Bartók and his music.
