Redefining Hungarian Music from Liszt to Bartok
Hooker, Lynn M. (Asst. Prof., Asst. Prof., Indiana University, Bloomington, IN)
In the early twentieth century, Bela Bartok and his circle argued for a new definition of "Hungarianness," one which centered around folksong rather than the "Hungarian-Gypsy" style relied upon by Franz Liszt and his contemporaries. This book traces the historical process that defined the conventions of Hungarian-Gypsy style, and reveals through this decades-long debate what it meant to be Hungarian, European, and modern.
