@@marygunn3589 It does not matter if you cannot listen, but it is simple to understand. Bartok's music is not atonal at all, which is great because of how mathematically lucrative atonality is. If you do listen, try hearing the Hungarian influence present in many of his songs. These melodies are obviously distorted, so understandably, it may seem nonsensical, however, his music is the greatest study of rhythms, textures, and most of all, tonality. If all else fails, consider actually doing research.
When Sandor plays these, you can see why Busoni said, "Now this is something really new." I was at the first performance of Bartoks piano reduction for the Concerto for Orchestra. Sandor played. The auditorium was half empty!!

Great Bartók piano playing - amazing!
Lovely. Thanks, James.☺

I dislike the music not the pianist.
Listen to it more than once and give it a chance to grow on you!
It is making me sick to my stomach...It really upsets me...
Then don't listen to it! Bartók isn't everyone's cup of tea :-)
I can't and won't. Hard to understand because I like jazz.
