Béla Bartók’s Journeys in Search of Slovak Folk Song, as Revealed by His Correspondence

Summary/Abstract: Béla Bartók gathered folk songs in Slovakia during the years 1904 – 1918. Based on Bartók’s correspondence from this period as hitherto published in Hungarian, the author has excerpted information about his journeys to Slovakia. In chronological order she elucidates the regions where he conducted fieldwork, the localities of his collecting activity, his contacts with singers, and the situations accompanying his documentation in the field. From the correspondence there is selected citation of Bartók’s commentary, which is valuable as the authentic testimony of an ethnomusicologist from his journeys in search of folk song and folk music.
