The genesis and genius of Bartok's Concerto was mingled with his
love for Stefi Geyer. As Hungarian Tristan pursuing his Isolde, he
sounds allusions to Wagner's paean of unfulfilled love. In
transposing the ideal into the real, Bartok enlists folk sources
voicing pristine truths of peasants. While biography and Tristan
allusions supply the keys to Stefi's Concerto, the Tristan grief
motif serves as bridge from idealized romance to the pentatonic
simplicity of peasant realism. In these tensions private love and
public life, and esoteric romance and raw worldliness are provoked
and reconciled. The rise and fall of living romance and its musical
mirroring against peasant scales and rhythms is background to
"Tristan" ruling a score that incites and resolves the clash of two
conflicting worlds
