20 Th-Century Composers Bela Bartok
Bartók menghabiskan masa kecil dan masa mudanya di berbagai kota-kota provinsi, belajar piano dengan ibunya dan kemudian dengan suksesi guru. Dia mulai menulis potongan dansa kecil pada usia sembilan, dan dua tahun kemudian ia bermain di depan publik untuk pertama kalinya, termasuk komposisi sendiri dalam program nya. Mengikuti jejak komposer Hungaria lain terkemuka, Erno Dohnanyi, Bartók melakukan studi profesional di Budapest, di Royal Hungaria Academy of Music, daripada di Wina. Ia berkembang pesat sebagai pianis tapi kurang begitu sebagai komposer. penemuan pada tahun 1902 dari musik Richard Strauss dirangsang antusiasmenya untuk komposisi. Pada saat yang sama, semangat nasionalisme optimis itu menyapu Hongaria, terinspirasi oleh Ferenc Kossuth dan Partai nya Kemerdekaan.

Bartók spent his childhood and youth in various provincial towns, studying the piano with his mother and later with a succession of teachers. He began to compose small dance pieces at age nine, and two years later he played in public for the first time, including a composition of his own in his program.

He developed rapidly as a pianist but less so as a composer. His discovery in 1902 of the music of Richard Strauss stimulated his enthusiasm for composition. At the same time, a spirit of optimistic nationalism was sweeping Hungary, inspired by Ferenc Kossuth and his Party of Independence. As other members of Bartók’s generation demonstrated in the streets, the 22-year-old composer wrote a symphonic poem, Kossuth (1903), portraying in a style reminiscent of Strauss, though with a Hungarian flavour, the life of the great patriot Lajos Kossuth, Ferenc’s father, who had led the revolution of 1848–49. Despite a scandal at the first performance, occasioned by a distortion of the Austrian national anthem, the work was received enthusiastically
