The Twentieth Century
Bela Bartok

Summary

Bartok's music was infused with the spirit of East European folk song, whose music was only begrudgingly accepted in his homeland, though better received in Europe and America. He became widely recognized as one of the most important composers of this period only shortly after his death in New York in 1995.
