Béla Bartók

This biography of Béla Bartók (1881–1945) presents a new view of the innovative Hungarian musician. The book traces Bartók's international career as an ardent ethno-musicologist and composer, teacher, and pianist, while also providing a detailed discussion of most of his works. Further, it explores how Europe's political and cultural tumult affected Bartók's work, travel, and reluctant emigration to the safety of America in his final years. The book illuminates Barték's personal life and relationships, while also expanding what is known about the influence of other musicians. It also looks closely at some of the composer's actions and behaviours which may have been manifestations of Asperger syndrome. The book, in short, is a consummate biography of an internationally admired musician.
