@ImperXVIII Great perfrmance :) Do you happen to know if this is Transylvanian Romanian music? So it seems to me, not the Balkan-style tradition - I wonder. I've always been fond of Tr-Ro folk music.
@mehvica Yes, it is. Most of the tunes used here are from Alba, Mures and Bihor counties, and one from the Banat. The Balkan influence is in southern Romania and is relatively recent (after the Turkish suzerainity, 17-19 centuries).
@ImperXVIII I listened to some horas by Dinicu (tracking down Liviu Prunaru) :) and I could indeed feel the difference. The Romanian people living in Transylvania have indeed a very fine sense of melody and rhythm. But of course hora and sirba are fine too :) Thanks for your help, I'll be looking out for Prunaru in case he visits Budapest.
@mehvica Romanian folklore is very complex and had suffered many influences over time. The oldest and most authentic level is in the ancient "colinde" (carols), dating back from the Dacian times (search Ioan Bocsa, Grigore Lese and others, or my channel with Electronica Ambient adaptations).
Most dance music is much more recent and had two-way influences with Hungarians (in Transylvania), Serbs (in Banat), Turks and Bulgarians (in the southern regions) and Ukrainians (in northern Moldova).
Bartok Bela was Hungarian.Rest In Peace.Although this is a Romanian folk song.Bartok Bela magyar volt.Isten nyugosztalja.Mi magyarok nagyon buszkek vagyunk ra.We Hungarians are extremly proud of him.
I'm studying at the Music Academy from Cluj in Romania and i'm taking a class on folk music this semester. It's especially about the folk music that Bartok composed.
Our teacher brought the recordings that Bartok made when he traveled around Romania to record traditional genuine folk music from the villagers. Let me tell you... listening to that gives you goosebumps! Bartok transcribed them all note by note, using the dances to then create these masterpieces by adding the perfect arrangement!
Shame on you, you lowly person who trolls around to comment such outrageous claim on one of the greatest pieces ever written. How can you possibly compare such masterpiece developed over years of observation and once in a lifetime talent with something like high pitched and relatively spontaneous technology outcome with a piece that was admired by many over decades of history?
I pity you, justinbeiberforking, and I hope you come to realize the beauty in "classical" music.
Although one could perhaps argue that a composer's procedence is a relevant factor in creating his or her particular style, some people do choose to waste their time and energy in a pointless debate about whether Bartok's native town was or is now a part of Romania or Hungary. Perhaps we should be spending more of our time talking about the music, and not the trivialities surrounding it! In plain English: Shut up! You bunch of moronic nerds!!
I love this music, and when he plays,, I don´t know how the explain ,, there is a different atmosphere ,,,, he understand this music like no one more.. to me is the best composser ,,,I am
so............bela bartok is born in a romanian village.even if they say it is hungarian the most played songs are the romanian folk songs because they are i think the most beautiful sonorities. so is he hungarian? or just by the name.
@mehighpatzany That romanian village was romanian, because it was on the territory of Romania, but Hingarian people lived there, and still do. It was a part of hungary for 900 years. And Bartók also played, Bulgarian and Hungarian folk adaptations
@mehighpatzany "He was born in Nagyszentmiklos, in the Torontal district of Hungary (now Romania), on March 25th, 1881. " this is a direct quote from Harold Schonberg. So, even tho the village is now Romanian, it was originally Hungarian, so technically, yes, Bartok is Hungarian. As well, he spent most of his early life in Hungary, and graduated from The Budapest Academy of Music. So, it is completely safe to say he was Hungarian despite today's current geography.
so how come the most beautifuul songs that he composed are the romanian folk dances......nobody plays the hungarian folk dances or bulgarian that he composed.
so in hungary the 1000 forintz bill is with bela bartok on it ...a hungarian composer but the most played songs are the romanian folk dances that he wrote.
i'm proud that he is a composer of hungarian origin but his heart was in romania man. and you should now that no country in this world has the folk music that you find in romania.
@mehighpatzany When it comes down to which of his works are the most beautiful, I think opinion is where the conscious stops, though I do find the dances very beautiful. Also, as to what pieces of his are most popular I wouldn't know. Wherever he was from, in some cases isn't extremely important. Bartok is Bartok, a creator of beautiful music, regardless of country. And music is music no matter the name. That's why music is so great, it appeals to different people in different ways.
@mehighpatzany It's like saying that Brahms was Hungarian because he wrote the series of hungarian dances that's very popular! Sounds silly doesn't it?
@mehighpatzany My friend u should know Hungarys histrory before u open ure mouth.Am not gonna go into it.But Bartok WAS Hungarian.Trust me on that.Thats why his name is Hungarian,and where did u get that from that nobody plays his Hungarian pieces?Bartok magyar volt kiscsillag!
did you people know that bartok was inspired by a turkish song called "pencerede mayil mayil bakan var" and thereafter he wrote the romanian dances no2.?
type "Bela Bartok Derlemeleri – Ali Oğlu Hacı – Pencereden Mayil Mayil Bakan Yar" in google and look at the first website in cache to listen to the original and judge for yourself.
the one at 2:45 is also from a famous folk music in turkey, although i have forgotten its name.
@apoka128 most of his music is turkish folk music, he went to turkey a while and compiled every folk music he could find from people that were related to the kuman tribes in hungary. Type "Turkish Folk Music Collection bartok in google and go to the first website, there you can listen some of it.
If you are a fan of bartok and have listened to all of his music, you will see that most of his musical accent came from these folk songs.
@1black1small1moon You can't really say it's bad. This is Bartok's own composition, and so this is his idea of how the piece was meant to play. Search any piece that is played by their composer, no-one ever says its wrong. Just because he plays faster than you might like does not mean he is drunk - unlike Szeryng when playing the violin! So, no, I do not agree with your statement!
dear romanian friends of mine. bb was born in 1881 in a hungarian town. this town now in romania but in 1881 it was hungary. till 1920. that land is only since 1920 has been belonging to romania.
bartók was born there then he moved to budapest in 1899.
the origins of his father's family is from borsod county in hungary, hi first ancestor in that part of hungary what later became the part of romania was his great-grandfather.
oameni scarbosi! v-a urasc,acuma mai vreti si ca limba voastra sa se legalizeze,baa! sunteti in Romania,vorbiti romana! daca nu,duceti-va dracu` de unde`a`ti venit! Peace
Even though Bela Bartok was Hungarian. He loved the Romanian culture, food, folclor, art etc. He said once: "My Hungarian mind, wouldn´t be anything without my Romanian soul, and my Romanian soul wouldn´t be nothing without my Hungarian mind". Bela Bartok is both Hungarian and Romanian. He´s done alot for our culture. Let him praise him together, as brothers and not as foe.
There is a feeling like I have not taken the life .. and yet gives me the feeling of strength to take it ... thanks to this man for so great compositions ... such passion never saw .... thanks
I think that Bartok was born in a region of Hungry that is actully now modern day Romania. Who knows how many things have changed since Bartok's day, all I know is that he is probably one of my favorite classical composers, along with Stravinsky, Ginastera, Bach, and Vivaldi.
Bela Bartok,Enescu,Ciprian Porubmescu,Ion Ivanovici, GZamfir,Dinu Lipatti, Clara Haskil. When it comes to clasical Music, Romania is alongside Russia, Germany, Hungary,Italy and Austria greatest nations in World. We ROCK.
Yes. Bartok was Hungarian. Lipatti was Italian, Zamfir is part gypsy, Ivanovici was serb, Clasa Haskil was Jewish, Enescu was part french. .Yet, they all contributed to Romanian culture..
this is awesome. does anybody know any other pieces by bartok (or someone else) that have this style? Mainly like the first section and final section of this piece.
I love Romanian, Hungarian, and Gypsy music (all of which Mr. Bartok compiled, god bless him) It just seems to wander and flow with itself, changing direction where it sees fit.
Look up "Gypsy Scale" on Wikipedia if you're a composer like myself and sometimes get bored with the basic Major/Minor Keys. They are really interesting to work with.
The only reasons I can think of for you posting such a childish comment on the internet for the world to see is that eithier a) you're insecure about yourself in some way or b) you're jealous.
I posted that comment so that other people could learn about something new and interesting, which judging by your profile is a hobby of yours.
@5RetardedSquirrels oh man im so childislhy insecure and jealous. it all makes sense. thank goodness i have MR RETARDED SQUIRRELS THE COMPOSER to help me figure things out.
@5RetardedSquirrels: have you listened to the "Romanian Rhapsody No. 1" composed by George Enescu? Try to find it on the Youtube "Rapsodia romana 1, Enescu, Segiu Celibidache". It's a marvelous conductor, I bet you'll like that!
@5RetardedSquirrels That's one of the first things I did when writing music. Some time ago I wrote a chord progression and scale to be played over eachother and didn't even realize I'd used one of the heptatonic secunda almost entirely unique to Bartók. (basically a melodic minor played symmetrically- the same up and down) The odd arrangement of whole tones and semitones went with the progression which contained four consecutive semitones. I didn't even intend any resemblance. :)
@5RetardedSquirrels Just curious, and please do not be mad by me saying this.
But have you listened to the grateful dead? They're known for having their music change direction all over the place, sure they're a rock band but still I have read composers love them because of how they "use" the music.
Are you sure it was the Banat region? I thought that was farther south (Temesvar/Timisoara area). I had always thought Bartok was from the "Maramures" region, which is present-day northwestern Romania.
You're right! I was wrong--I just looked at a map. Just over the border from present-day Hungary. I believe, however, Bartok was entirely Hungarian, at least as far as is known.
I once heard these pieces performed by a string ensemble. It was quite incredible. I love these pieces. The unbridled spirit of the Eastern European culture is quite interesting and it displays itself in their music.
Contemporary for the 30s, maybe. At best he was a neoclassical composer. I don't see how this is annoying or nonsense either, it isn't _too_ different from some romantic piano pieces. Try listening to his atonal stuff.
Bartok,,, compiled his Romanian Folk Dance work when he was actually living in Vermont in the Summer of 1940,,,It was his income (commission from Columbia University)
that's not true - Bartok wrote the Roumanian Folk Dances in 1915 (for the piano). They were orchestrated in 1918. All the seven melodies were collected between 1910-12 and they originate from four regions of Transylvania.
I'm not arguing when those particular works were done!! He did extensive Work while working for Columbia University, while on a vast Romaniain Folk music project in his Vt Stay,,, My family lived next to him (next house up the hill) It was a source of income for him as he was really in hard times. It was all documented
actually ur all wrong he fits into a category called 20th centuary music along with claude debussy. and yes im doign a report on him to.. two thousand words dont complain.. im not..
people who say that classical music is crap(also classical puts them to sleep, makes them anxious and/or is for old people) are those who never finished their high school and who hate their lives trying to get as far as possible from reality listening only to song genre constructed on the same structure, bass lines, chords and melody, smoking weed, getting drunk as much as possible and going to commercial cinemas.
people who say that not liking classical means that you are a total screw-up are no better. you cant say that you cant judge people based on their musical tastes and then judge others. you can like metal and classical, like i do.how about thinking before you post stupid comments?
I would like to know which way can we define this kind of pieces "classical" .... it's someting nearly conteporary as Bartok died in 1945, it's newer than some Jazz music and it should be considered contemporary music.
I personally love this suite cause it was one of the first pleasant pieces I learned to play on the piano.
I understand what you are saying. I think people generally hate music that makes them listen to it. This music draws in one's attention, makes you feel a thousand different emotions. Actually, this music makes me escape my reality and I love it! I think that some people can't handle too much beauty. ;-)
if you dislike Bartok so much then why are you even bothering posting this stuff about how much you hate this music...why not just stop wasting your time and listen to what you like...

I love Romanian, Hungarian, and Gypsy music (all of which Mr. Bartok compiled, god bless him) It just seems to wander and flow with itself, changing direction where it sees fit.
Look up "Gypsy Scale" on Wikipedia if you're a composer like myself and sometimes get bored with the basic Major/Minor Keys. They are really interesting to work with.

The only reasons I can think of for you posting such a childish comment on the internet for the world to see is that eithier a) you're insecure about yourself in some way or b) you're jealous.
I posted that comment so that other people could learn about something new and interesting, which judging by your profile is a hobby of yours.

@5RetardedSquirrels: have you listened to the "Romanian Rhapsody No. 1" composed by George Enescu? Try to find it on the Youtube "Rapsodia romana 1, Enescu, Segiu Celibidache". It's a marvelous conductor, I bet you'll like that!

@5RetardedSquirrels That's one of the first things I did when writing music. Some time ago I wrote a chord progression and scale to be played over eachother and didn't even realize I'd used one of the heptatonic secunda almost entirely unique to Bartók. (basically a melodic minor played symmetrically- the same up and down) The odd arrangement of whole tones and semitones went with the progression which contained four consecutive semitones. I didn't even intend any resemblance. :)

@5RetardedSquirrels Just curious, and please do not be mad by me saying this.
But have you listened to the grateful dead? They're known for having their music change direction all over the place, sure they're a rock band but still I have read composers love them because of how they "use" the music.

Béla Bartók was born in the small Banatian town of Nagyszentmiklós in Austria-Hungary (now Sânnicolau Mare, Romania) on March 25, 1881.

Are you sure it was the Banat region? I thought that was farther south (Temesvar/Timisoara area). I had always thought Bartok was from the "Maramures" region, which is present-day northwestern Romania.
soami2u 2 years ago
You're right! I was wrong--I just looked at a map. Just over the border from present-day Hungary. I believe, however, Bartok was entirely Hungarian, at least as far as is known.

This music isn't atonal, it's modal, a.k.a based on the gregorian chruch modes: ionian, dorian, phrigian, lydian, mixolydian, aeolian, and locrian.

I once heard these pieces performed by a string ensemble. It was quite incredible. I love these pieces. The unbridled spirit of the Eastern European culture is quite interesting and it displays itself in their music.

Bartok is considered as one of the Contemporary Musician, according to my daughter's piano teacher (she's got a PhD in Music). Thanks!
lochinus 2 years ago
Contemporary for the 30s, maybe. At best he was a neoclassical composer. I don't see how this is annoying or nonsense either, it isn't _too_ different from some romantic piano pieces. Try listening to his atonal stuff.

Bartok,,, compiled his Romanian Folk Dance work when he was actually living in Vermont in the Summer of 1940,,,It was his income (commission from Columbia University)
bblguy86 2 years ago
A nice read is "Naked Face of Genius" a Book by Agatha Illes Barna about Bartok's
Life in the US and especially his time at the "cottage" in Vermont. I'm sure most of you have read It!
bblguy86 2 years ago
that's not true - Bartok wrote the Roumanian Folk Dances in 1915 (for the piano). They were orchestrated in 1918. All the seven melodies were collected between 1910-12 and they originate from four regions of Transylvania.
danikabbani 2 years ago
You are missing the point!!
I'm not arguing when those particular works were done!! He did extensive Work while working for Columbia University, while on a vast Romaniain Folk music project in his Vt Stay,,, My family lived next to him (next house up the hill) It was a source of income for him as he was really in hard times. It was all documented
very well

Contemporary for the 40s, then, my point still stands. For 'classical' music, contemporary refers to atonal and experimental music.

people who say that classical music is crap(also classical puts them to sleep, makes them anxious and/or is for old people) are those who never finished their high school and who hate their lives trying to get as far as possible from reality listening only to song genre constructed on the same structure, bass lines, chords and melody, smoking weed, getting drunk as much as possible and going to commercial cinemas.

I would like to know which way can we define this kind of pieces "classical" .... it's someting nearly conteporary as Bartok died in 1945, it's newer than some Jazz music and it should be considered contemporary music.
I personally love this suite cause it was one of the first pleasant pieces I learned to play on the piano.

I understand what you are saying. I think people generally hate music that makes them listen to it. This music draws in one's attention, makes you feel a thousand different emotions. Actually, this music makes me escape my reality and I love it! I think that some people can't handle too much beauty. ;-)
