Teaching with Bartók's “Mikrokosmos”

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 February 2010

Extract

Much is written about the gulf between contemporary art on the one hand and the public on the other. But does this really obtain? Is it impossible for a great creative artist to be understood by his contemporaries? There is one solution of this problem; ground carefully cultivated will bear fruit earlier than ground that has been neglected. When one begins with virgin soil, that is to say with the sensitive but musically undeveloped child, then it is that the best results will be attained.
