Bartók, Hungary, and the renewal of tradition : case studies in the intersection of modernity and nationality / David E. Schneider

• 1. Tradition Rejected : Bartók's Polemics and the Nineteenth-Century Hungarian Musical Inheritance; 2. Tradition Maintained: Nationalism, Verbunkos, Kossuth, and the Rhapsody, Op. 1; 3. Tradition Transformed: "The Night's Music" and the Pastoral Roots of a Modern Style; 4. Tradition Challenged: Confronting Stravinsky; 5. Tradition Transcribed: The Rhapsody for Violin No. 1, the Politics of Folk-Music Research, and the Artifice of Authenticity; 6. Tradition Restored: The Violin Concerto, Verbunkos, and Hungary on the Eve of World War II. 

• It is well known that Bartók had an extraordinary ability to synthesize Western art music with the folk music of Eastern Europe. This study presents a different approach to Bartók that acknowledges the composer's debt to a variety of Hungarian music traditions as well as to influential contemporaries such as Igor Stravinsky
