1943年1月21日，贝拉·巴托克在最后一次音乐会上的《双钢琴协奏曲》的首演时，自顾自表演了一段即兴演奏，令他的妻子手足无措。
　

贝拉·巴托克（Béla Viktor János Bartók，1881年3月25日－1945年9月26日）作曲家、音乐学家、钢琴家，出生于匈牙利纳吉圣米克洛斯（今罗马尼亚境内），不仅是匈牙利现代音乐的泰斗，也是二十世纪最杰出的音乐家之一。作为作曲家、民间音乐学家，他的很多创举剧烈震动了整个20世纪艺术圈， 一些专家们甚至坚信他的才华可以与贝多芬相提并论。

巴托克5岁开始随母亲学琴，9岁开始作曲，10岁开始公开演出自己的习作和贝多芬的钢琴奏鸣曲，1903年毕业于布达佩斯音乐学院。巴托克1905年开始从事匈牙利民歌（后来范围甚至扩大到东欧各国、北非和土耳其）收集、整理与研究工作，收集了大量的民歌，出版了相关的民歌曲集、研究专著与理论文章，取得了卓越的音乐学研究成就。这项艰巨而宏富的工作，更激发了他源源不断的创作灵感，并促成了他鲜明的创作风格：民族音调与现代节奏、丰富多声的精妙结合。

巴托克本人曾自我总结自己的音乐创作：“创作匈牙利‘新’艺术音乐的基础终于奠定了，第一，掌握过去和当代的西方艺术音乐的普遍知识，作为创作技巧；第二，以新近发掘出来的乡村音乐——一种无可比拟的完美材料，作为作品的灵魂。”

如今，他创作的诸如歌剧《蓝胡子公爵的城堡》、管弦乐《舞蹈组曲》、《为弦乐、打击乐与钢片琴而作的音乐》、《乐队协奏曲》、三部《钢琴协奏曲》等等，特别是他最杰出的六部《弦乐四重奏》，已经成为二十世纪音乐宝库里闪闪发光的明珠。

1937年1月21日—贝拉·巴托克的《为弦乐器、打击乐和钢片琴而作》首演于巴塞尔。这首作品充分证实了巴托克的伟大的艺术才华，在此曲中他实践了作者综合德彪西优美的和 声、贝多芬严密的结构、巴赫杰出的复调，创造出一种富于活力的现代风格的理想。

On January 21, 1943, at his last concert, Bella bartok performed an impromptu rendition of "concerto for two pianos," to his wife's bewilderment.
Bela Viktor Janos Bartok (March 25, 1881 -- September 26, 1945), composer, musicologist and pianist, was born in nagy st. miklos, Hungary (today's Romania).As a composer and folk musicologist, many of his inventions shook the art world of the 20th century, and some experts even believed that his talent could be compared to Beethoven's.
He was born on March 25, 1881, in naujshentmiklosh, Hungary (now Romania). He began to learn the piano with his mother at the age of five, began to compose music at the age of nine, and began to perform his own works and Beethoven's piano sonatas in public at the age of ten. He graduated from the Budapest conservatory of music in 1903.In 1905, bartok began to collect, organize and research Hungarian folk songs (which later expanded to eastern European countries, north Africa and Turkey).This arduous and magnificent work has inspired his continuous creative inspiration, and contributed to his distinctive writing style: the subtle combination of national tone and modern rhythm, rich and multitone.
Bartok himself summed up his own music creation: "the foundation for the creation of Hungarian 'new' art music has finally been laid.The second is to take the newly discovered country music -- an unmatchable and perfect material -- as the soul of the work."
Today, his "blue beard the duke's castle", such as opera orchestra "dance suite", "for strings, percussion and sheet steel piano music", "the orchestra concerto", three "piano concerto", etc., in particular, he is the most outstanding six "string quartet", has become a shining pearl in the 20th century music treasure.

January 21, 1937 - Bella bartok's "for strings, percussion, and steel" premieres in Basel.This work fully confirms the great artistic talent of bartok, in which he put into practice the author's ideal of synthesizing the beautiful harmony of Debussy, the rigorous structure of Beethoven, and the outstanding polyphony of Bach to create a dynamic modern style.

From 1899 to 1903, Bartók studied piano under István Thomán, a former student of Franz Liszt, and composition under János Koessler at the Royal Academy of Music in Budapest. There he met Zoltán Kodály, who influenced him greatly and became his lifelong friend and colleague. In 1903, Bartók wrote his first major orchestral work, Kossuth, a symphonic poem which honored Lajos Kossuth, hero of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.

The music of Richard Strauss, whom he met in 1902 at the Budapest premiere of Also sprach Zarathustra, strongly influenced his early work. When visiting a holiday resort in the summer of 1904, Bartók overheard a young nanny, Lidi Dósa from Kibéd in Transylvania, sing folk songs to the children in her care. This sparked his lifelong dedication to folk music.

From 1907, he also began to be influenced by the French composer Claude Debussy, whose compositions Kodály had brought back from Paris. Bartók’s large-scale orchestral works were still in the style of Johannes Brahms and Richard Strauss, but he wrote a number of small piano pieces which showed his growing interest in folk music. The first piece to show clear signs of this new interest is the String Quartet No. 1 in A minor (1908), which contains folk-like elements.

In 1907, Bartók began teaching as a piano professor at the Royal Academy. This position freed him from touring Europe as a pianist and enabled him to work in Hungary. Among his notable students were Fritz Reiner, Sir Georg Solti, György Sándor, Ernő Balogh, and Lili Kraus. After Bartók moved to the United States, he taught Jack Beeson and Violet Archer.
