One of those composers who deserves a bit longer of a video

@imnothuman.5868 3 года назад

In case anybody was wondering, the piece in the background is Bartók's op. 14 Piano Suite.

Absolutely brilliant information. I don't think you realise what an amazing job you are doing in educating people about classical music. Long may this continue.

@wadaries 3 года назад

And really entertaining, hahaha I’m clapping my hands all the time, one thing I’m not sure though is the pronunciation of the foreign names, which was the very reason why I started, hahaha

Channels like yours are what makes RU-vid a powerful tool for education, thank you so much for posting this content !

For anyone interested I would highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Music History in Budapest. They have on display artifacts from the collecting tours that Bartok and Kodály undertook together in the decade preceding WWI. I just found it incredible at everything they carried (including a gramophone and wax cylinders) to record everything as they walked hundreds of miles through Greater Hungary. These recordings have been released - you can hear them on Spotify. Bartok started the ethnomusicology department at the Liszt Academy that Kodály took over when Bartok emigrated to the US.

Thanks for the tip! I'm visiting Budapest for the first time in the Autumn and will definitely go to this museum.

Surprise! Next Thursday's video is already out. I'm on a vacation with no guaranteed Internet access for a Thursday upload, and I'd rather be early than late, so enjoy!

@RichardASalisbury1 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this. I would've been even more pleased if your coverage of his last period, in the USA, mentioned his sonata for solo violin, surely one of his masterpieces, and one of the greatest achievements of its kind since Bach.

@jasonkokoszka7357 3 года назад

I just recently discovered your channel, and I honestly love the content you provide here. Informative, interesting, well-researched, and your touches of humor make some videos in this series entertaining as well. The biographical and theoretical videos are certainly giving me plenty to think about to help with my own compositional ideas and efforts. I realize you have recently posted a statement to the effect that there will be a delay before the next biographical video, but I wanted to submit a suggestion to make one about Zoltan Kodaly (if you have one already I must've missed it on the list). Anyway, thank you so much for all that you do. I'm really grateful for your content here.

@VictorRice 10 месяцев назад

Excellent summary! Though I would beg to differ about the "Bartók pizzicato" - albeit very percussive, they're definitely tonal.

I don't know if Bela Bartok was in Romania, but he made Romanian dances

@luchadorito 4 года назад

He collected music from Transylvania which was at the time part of Hungary(now Romania) and which had a mixed population of ethnic Hungarians and Romanians(and also saxons, gypsies, jews and székely people).

Wasn't the fibonacci thing based on one guy's theory - and has been subsequently debunked?

@ClassicalNerd 2 года назад

It's something that I was taught while studying Bartók's music during composition seminars. But I was a wee baby undergrad when I made this tiny li'l video and I'm sure there are competing/alternative explanations.
