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.
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
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.
Can you explain why this Bartok video is so short? As one of the most important figures in all of classical music, there's certainly lots more to say than you have here. Otherwise great channel. Thank you.
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.
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!
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.
Such a power house of an artist, his Miraculous Mandarin blew me away when I was a teenager getting sick of my mates talk about Adam in the Ants (no offense meant to POP fans).
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).
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.
One of those composers who deserves a bit longer of a video

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

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

Please revisit Bartok with more than just a brief biography
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.
Having a blast binging your videos.
That’s my great grand uncle. So cool to watch this. Thanks!!
WOAH
Thank you! You pack an enormous amount of information into a mere seven minutes!
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!
I love Zoltan Kodaly too. His music language program is in the movie Close Encounters...
A superb summary of Bartok's life and music.
I always wondered what those insane bass stabs in violin concerto no 2. Love that piece

Bartók deserves a bigger video
You deserve more view !
No worries he will get more views soon..Army is gonna flood this place trust me😂😂
Thank you so much man - this quality content is really helping me study for my final school exams! Thank you
Excellent summary! Though I would beg to differ about the "Bartók pizzicato" - albeit very percussive, they're definitely tonal.
Thanx, Maestro 🌹🌹🌹
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUUU
Great summation. Thank you.
I was checking infos about the composer for an exam i have and... wow! you surely deserve more viewers! keep going like this! :D
Yo we have the same last name
@@boysfromthe3158 that’s strange, are you from Italy/italian origins?
great video my mane
man*
Interesting intro to composers!
Such a power house of an artist, his Miraculous Mandarin blew me away when I was a teenager getting sick of my mates talk about Adam in the Ants (no offense meant to POP fans).
Nice video! Your channel helps a lot to prepare for my music history exams. Are you planning to make a video about Zoltál Kodály?
It's not so much "planning" and more "how many requests I've gotten." Yours is the fourth: lentovivace.com/classicalnerd.html
I don't know if Bela Bartok
was in Romania, but he made Romanian dances
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).
I was going to watch your video on Franz Liszt, but I cant find it, i guess You didnt make it yet?
I had one up, but the production value was so poor that I took it down and plan on re-making it.
@@ClassicalNerd When is it coming?
@@ValzainLumivix At some point.
@@ClassicalNerd Can't wait
could you make a video on Tchaikovsky
It's already in the queue!
Mahler used the snap pizz.
Wasn't the fibonacci thing based on one guy's theory - and has been subsequently debunked?

The viola killed him!
That's why nobody wants to play the viola
Bartok for me was extremely boring to both study and listen to .. I find composers like dvorak and smetana much better
good thing everyone is entitled to their own opinion! I feel almost the opposite way lol
