520 a| A virtuoso himself at the piano, Béla Bartók was also responsible for over 300 compositions for his beloved instrument. Yet, of all the books exploring his life and music, this is the first to depart from the realm of complex music theory. Written from the vantage point of a pianist and active performer rather than a theorist or musicologist, this book readily addresses the artist's exceptional relationship with the piano, paying special attention to form, structure, and the foundation and roots of his musical vocabulary. Using universal terms that the most novice of music lovers will find appealing, the book focuses on Bartók's approach to his music, his pianism, and the discipline and preparation required for performance. It serves as a guide to more informed listening, and will enable its readers to appreciate not only the work of Bartók, but that of countless others. In the midst of recording Bartók's complete works, the author has explored the very roots of his creative processes. To further aid readers in understanding the elements of the repertoire at hand, a CD insert of Bartók's music performed by the author is included. Accompanying audio disc contains Barbara Nissman's performances of selected Bartok works, including two movements of the little-known early sonata of 1898.;
