Description
Béla Viktor János Bartók (1881–1945) was a Hungarian composer, pianist, and ethnomusicologist, renowned as one of the most significant musical figures of the 20th century. His groundbreaking work in collecting and analyzing folk music laid the foundation for comparative musicology, now known as ethnomusicology. Bartók's compositions were deeply influenced by folk music, reflecting his extensive study of traditional melodies from Hungary and Eastern Europe. Notable works include "Six Romanian Folk Dances" and "Concerto for Orchestra." Emigrating to the United States in 1940, he continued his musical pursuits until his death in New York City, leaving behind a lasting legacy in both classical composition and the preservation of folk music.
