[22:43 - 23:05]
You were listening to the 11th in a series of broadcasts of regular subscription concerts especially
[23:05 - 23:10]
selected from the archives of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. That used by the University of
[23:10 - 23:15]

[23:19 - 23:25]

[23:25 - 23:30]
The Hungarian composer Bela Bartok created some of his most significant music during his
[23:30 - 23:33]
final years from 935 to 1945.
[23:33 - 23:36]
He died in September of 145.
[23:36 - 23:41]
This creative period is all the more interesting because it occurred simultaneously with the
[23:41 - 23:47]
catastrophic political upheavals in Europe and the Nazi scourge of the continent.
[23:47 - 23:52]
Our talk like so many other composers before him was the victim of public apathy towards his
[23:52 - 23:56]
creative efforts. In fact there have been no orchestral work since
[23:56 - 24:01]
1923 so very little interest have been shown in his works by the orchestras that he
[24:01 - 24:06]
abandoned this medium for some years. In its place he brought forth
[24:06 - 24:11]
chamber music and solos for voice and piano areas in which he could hope for an
[24:11 - 24:13]
occasional performance.
[24:13 - 24:18]
The turning point in his life as a composer appears to come in one thousand thirty four. When he resigned his
[24:18 - 24:23]
position at the Budapest Academy of Music to concentrate more actively on composition
[24:23 - 24:28]
and to devote more time to his monumental undertaking with his fellow countryman could die
[24:28 - 24:33]
of folk music research over and above his musical compositions his
[24:33 - 24:38]
services to the art of music are inestimable and by talk never written an original
[24:38 - 24:43]
note his collections and studies of Balkan folk music would have been sufficient to make his
[24:43 - 24:47]
name remembered. Montauk wrote the following analysis of the Concerto for
[24:47 - 24:52]
Orchestra and the general mood of the work represents. Apart from the jesting second
[24:52 - 24:57]
movement a gradual transition from the star Innes of the first movement and the
[24:57 - 25:02]
lugubrious death scene of the third to the life assertion of the last line.
