Más información sobre el libro

The monograph by Hungarian musicologist Tibor Tallián is regarded as a seminal work on the life and oeuvre of Béla Bartók. It is the first comprehensive study of this exceptional European composer, ethnomusicologist, educator, and performer from the first half of the 20th century. The original Hungarian edition was published in 1981, and the updated version reflects the latest findings in Bartók research while preserving the original concept and structure. The monograph's significance lies not only in its extensive documentation and updated appendices but also in Tallián's foundational approach, which integrates numerous quotes from Bartók's rich personal written material into the main text. This work offers deep insights into Bartók's contributions to music and his lasting impact on the field.
