Bela Bartok

Bela Bartok was a Hungarian composer and pianist who helped found the discipline of Ethnomusicology: the study and preservation of indigenous folk music.

Béla Bartók wrote his first composition (The Course of the Danube) at the age of nine, and his first orchestral work, Kossuth, when he was just 21. Bartok began a life-long study of Eastern European folk music in 1908, and it was in this capacity that he was best known during his lifetime. Bartok died from complications of leukemia in 1945.
