This afternoon, I received Maskarada and I have listened to the whole CD. Superb music!! It would be great if they would come to play in Monterrey, Mexico. I would be in the front row. I have introduced my granddaughter to the fascinating world of Gypsies and she has liked it too much. She says she’s a Romany girl. :)

@alejandro0p0 mate, send me a link to the article :) i'd like to read it. i strongly disagree with the content of the excerpts you are quoting. Bartók got in a lot of trouble for researching Romanian music in post-WWI Hungary - he had to publish his Romanian studies in Bucharest, cause the Hungarian authorities didn't let him do it. He refused to fill out the racial questionnaire the Nazis distributed in Hungary - he refused to call himself "Hungarian." Think about it. He was no nationalist.

@alejandro0p0 Well, I respect Ms. Brown's opinion - I also read early Bartók articles and my interpretation of his views differs from hers. In my understanding Bartók was clearly idolizing peasant music (may it be Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak or Arabic) and felt that the urban Gypsy performances of these tunes were somehow non-authentic - which in his mindset meant less valuable. You stated that he was a "strong nationalist" and she states he was a Gypsy-hating bigot - I disagree on both counts.

@alejandro0p0 Do you really need me to explain to you what "contamination" means in this passage? :) Fine. Gypsy musicians learnt tunes in the city - then they played these tunes in the villages, hence they allowed city-music (i.e. magyar nóta) to "contaminate" village-music (i.e. népzene). Simple. It is undeniably true that Bartók wasn't a fan of the way Gypsy musicians performed Hungarian or Romanian village music. But that doesn't make him a "strong nationalist" as you called him. Got it? :)

@alejandro0p0 Yeah, as Mr. Brown says, for Bartók's purposes of scientific classification folk songs devoid of foreign influences were desirable - the "problems" of not being able to fit them into "patterns" grow with outside influences. The question of good and bad hybrids (i.e. his own use of folk songs and that of Gypsy musicians) is clearly a subjective aesthetic dilemma, it is a question of personal taste, not of nationalism. In fact Bartók took risks in his time being an internationalist!
