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