Bela Bart6k (1881-1945) A llov er t hew o rl d .m u s i c i a nas re celebrating thecentennialol Bela Bartok'sbirth.Throughconcerts. lectures,articles,books, documentaries. televisionand radio broadcastsan impressive volumeol hisworksare beingofferedand undoubtedly thereis a strongleeling of discoveryand revivalof thisgreat twentiethcenturycomposer.lt is fittingthatsucha prestigious competition as the Van Cliburn International PianoCompetition shouldpayhomageto Bart6k,who endowedus pianistswithsuch varietyand rangeol works,to Bartok thevirtuosopianistand pedagogue and lastbutnot leastto Bartokthe greathumanbeing. Oftenthe bestway to introducea personis to sketcha verbalportrait. In 'l945 PaulSacherin a memorial articlewrote:"Whoevermet Bart6k. thinkingof the rhythmicstrengthof hiswor k ,wass u rp ri s e d b y h i ss l i g h t, delicatefigure.He hadtheoutward appearance scholar. of a fine-nerved Possessedof fanaticalwilland pitilessseverity,and propelledby an ardentsoirit.he affected inaccessibility andwas reservedly polite.Hisbeingbreathedlightand brightness; hiseyesburnedwith noblefire.ln the f lashof his searchingglanceno falsenessor obs c ur itcyou l de n d u re '.
