Family
Bartók was born in Nagyszentmiklós,
Hungary, to a Hungarian lower noble
family. His mother, Paula, was fluent in
Hungarian and had German, Hungarian,
Slovak, or Polish ancestry, and his father
was also named Béla.

Musical Career
In 1903, Bartók composed Kossuth, a symphonic poem
about the 1848 Hungarian war of independence, under
Strauss' influence. He later renewed his opus numbers with
Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra, driven by nationalistic
fervor and a lifelong devotion to folk music. Bartók collected
Magyar peasant melodies and incorporated folk music into
his compositions, gradually removing romantic elements.
Contribution
Bartók's style in his art music compositions was
a synthesis of folk music, classicism, and
modernism. His melodic and harmonic sense
was influenced by the folk music of Hungary,
Romania, and other nations. He was especially
fond of the asymmetrical dance rhythms and
pungent harmonies found in Bulgarian music.

Contribution
Bartok, in collaboration with Zoltan
Kodaly, transcribed over 10,000 folk
songs from these countries. He
incorporated many elements of the
folk music he studied into his own
works and produced works that were
rhythmically and tonally complex. He
also composed 74 works of his own.
