The Adventures of Béla Bartók

By Maureen Gannon

Humble beginnings are often the first step to making history.

Now known as one of Hungary's greatest composers, Béla Bartòk sparked a musical revolution-and the evolution of classical music as a whole. His historic achievements could never have been predicted when he was born a sickly child in Nagyszentmiklós, Hungary, in 1881.

Living life with passion amid war, Bartòk eventually becomes the man behind Hungary's most famous music. Author Josh Robert Clifford creates a magnificent, illustrated novelization of the early stages of Bartòk's life, the influential musicians he learned from, and his introduction to folk music and ethnomusicology while on his meteoric rise to international fame.

Bartòk's story is one of talent supported by hard work, love, and the joy of creating and performing music with meaning. Readers will join this tremendous composer throughout key moments of his life as he creates masterpieces with the support of his family, friends, and contemporaries.
