| Abstract |
Three seminal figures in 20th-century music are considered in this volume. First Béla Bartók, the Hungarian composer who drew deeply on the folklore of his homeland to bring a fresh vitality into 20th-century music. Second, Igor Stravinsky, whose life - from his upbringing in pre-revolutionary Russia, through the intellectual crucible that was the Paris of the 1920s, to his final years in Los Angeles and New York. Third, Paul Hindemith, the craftsman/composer par excellence. Taken together, these articles brilliantly illuminate the forces bearing on Western music in the early-middle 20th century. |
