Béla Bartók: One Of A Kind

Bela Bartok, 1927 -- Credit: Public Domain (http://bit.ly/2zNCLkg)

Composer Béla Bartók was the father of ethnomusicology, scouring the villages of Eastern Europe for folk songs. He took those tunes, added a little Bach, a pinch of Beethoven and created music like we've never heard before. Peter takes us backstage with Bartók!
