Abstract
The 20th century Hungarian composer Béla Bartók became interested in folk music and pioneered the study of ethnomusicology. His deep interest resulted in a large output of work unlike that of his peers. Much of his music was based upon folk melodies and harmonized in ways that were unusual for the Western world, which was just emerging from the Romantic era. This project will explain how Béla Bartók contributed to the study of folk music and how his work was influenced by it.
