You are missing the point!!
I’m not arguing when those particular works were done!! He did extensive Work while working for Columbia University, while on a vast Romaniain Folk music project in his Vt Stay,,, My family lived next to him (next house up the hill) It was a source of income for him as he was really in hard times. It was all documented
very well

that’s not true - Bartok wrote the Roumanian Folk Dances in 1915 (for the piano). They were orchestrated in 1918. All the seven melodies were collected between 1910-12 and they originate from four regions of Transylvania.

Contemporary for …
Contemporary for the 40s, then, my point still stands. For ‘classical’ music, contemporary refers to atonal and experimental music.

A nice read is “Naked Face of Genius” a Book by Agatha Illes Barna about Bartok’s
Life in the US and especially his time at the “cottage” in Vermont. I’m sure most of you have read It!

Contemporary for …
Contemporary for the 30s, maybe. At best he was a neoclassical composer. I don’t see how this is annoying or nonsense either, it isn’t _too_ different from some romantic piano pieces. Try listening to his atonal stuff.

I once heard these pieces performed by a string ensemble. It was quite incredible. I love these pieces. The unbridled spirit of the Eastern European culture is quite interesting and it displays itself in their music.

Just don’t know how to appreciate this modern, contemporary music, man!
Don’t know whether or not my daughter will survive for playing one of his works.
So annoying and nonsense!

Bartok is pure genius!!! I love him, and this music introduced me to the folk music of Roumania and Hungary. Beautiful!

I understand what you are saying. I think people generally hate music that makes them listen to it. This music draws in one’s attention, makes you feel a thousand different emotions. Actually, this music makes me escape my reality and I love it! I think that some people can’t handle too much beauty.
