One of the basic scholarly works on the composer's style.,

This review is from: Bartok's Chamber Music (Hardcover)
The author, Janos Karpati, musicologist and professor of the F. Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest, is equally well known as a Bartok specialist and as a distinguished scholar of the music of the East, especially that of Japan. The Introduction is planned to define the place and relative weight of chamber music within the whole oeuvre. Cahpter 2, Forerunners and Contemporaries is an important summary of stylistic similarities. "Monothemiticism and Variation" investigates an important underlying principle of Bartok's art. Karpati introduces his most original analytical concept, "mistuning". In Karpati's hand this expression turned into a strictly formulated theoretical concept: on p. 211 a table explains how acoustic intervals can be replaced by "mistuned" ones either a semitone lower or a semitone higher.
