1 EAST-CENTRAL EUROPEAN & BALKAN CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Béla Bartók ( ) Born in Nagyszentmiklós, Banat, Austria-Hungary (now Sânnicolau Mare, Romania). A prodigy on the piano, he received his first lessons from his mother and gave his first public recital at age eleven, and also began to compose. László Erkel accepted him as a pupil and he also studied piano under István Thomán, a former student of Franz Liszt, and composition under János Koessler at the Royal Academy of Music in Budapest. He began a lifelong friendship with fellow-composer Zoltán Kodály and the two of them explored the countryside in search of authentic Magyar folk music. He began his musical career as a piano teacher at the Royal Academy and he went on to become one of his country's greatest composers. His anti-fascism prompted his exile to the United States, where he continued to compose and teach until his death. His large output covered most genres from opera and ballet to works for solo instruments and voices. His sole attempt at a Symphony was left incomplete with only the Scherzo orchestrated. In 1961, the Belgian music scholar Denijs Dille ( ) orchestrated the remaining movements.
