Eastern Europe
A. Folk and Modernist Synthesis: Béla Bartòk
1. Bartòk was one of the first ethnomusicologists.
2. With Kodály, Bartòk sought to find “real” Hungarian music, not the typical “Gypsy music” heard in cafes and the like.
3. The two transcribed peasant songs and published them in 1906.
4. Bartòk said that this act “liberated” him from having to use only major or minor keys.

Folk Ways
1. Bartòk developed theories about the relationship between “peasant” and “modern” music, which he published in Budapest.
2. Bartòk did not stick to Hungarian music but broadened his interests to include a larger geographical area.
3. An early example of how Bartòk incorporated folk elements into his Modern music is the fourteen Bagatelles for piano, Op. 6.
4. The Dance Suite does not use folk songs but references folk elements, bringing several
different nations together in the final dance.
5. His six quartets show how Bartòk used traditional, established genres and imbued them with his own aesthetics of folklore, newness, and advancement.
