- Summary:
- Based on a complex web of Hungarian, British, and American sources, this study of Bartok's series of British concert tours in the years between 1904 and 1938 explores his views--and those of his British acquaintances--on pianism, compositions, and social questions. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing British music scene, the book also examines the composer's relationships with critics and performing associates.
