A product of Hungary's political ferment at the start of the
twentieth century, Bela Bartok's works combine determination to
participate in Western art movements coupled with an enthusiasm for
the folk traditions of a disappearing world. In this introduction
to Bartok's stage works, Julian Grant describes the score for Duke
Bluebeard's Castle, a symbolist version of the Bluebeard myth.
Included in this volume are also his ballet scenarios and
discussions of the choreographic potential and musical qualities of
the scores. Ferenc Bonis indicates the appeal for Bartok of the
natural world, against the cataclysm of the First World War.
Together, these works give an insight into issues of sexuality,
humanity and creativity. Contents: Works contained in this volume:
