I have to admit I was confused when I first heard it, and even more confused when I read about the plot of the ballet. This essay helps me understand the piece, and explains why Bartok might have chosen to write something with this subject matter. It is certainly a difficult piece, but one that is ultimately rewarding.Andrew Spinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223828975089943622noreply@blogger.com
