35 years ago today, Hungarian state funeral for composer #BélaBartók in Budapest, 42 years after his death with his remains relocated from New York

But anyone can attest as to whether this works for “classics” of classical music: your Bachs, your Haendels, your Mozarts, your Beethovens, etc.

Let us see what happens when we search for the composers who have followed those in the same way modern art has followed the fine arts:

Excellent! #PierreBoulez, #OlivierMessiaen, #ArnoldShoenberg, and #BélaBartók, probably the foremost modern classical composers, not only are found without trouble but have excellent landing pages.

Hugarian composer Béla Bartók was a pianist, ethnomusicologist, and teacher. We are thrilled to present (his only opera) Bluebeard's Castle alongside Alma Mahler's Four Songs opening 2/33. http://blo.org/bluebeard

After seeing The Eternal Daughter I can’t seem to stop thinking of Bartok even if I never really liked that kind of classical music. Am I finally growing up? Lol
