Selected Writings on Music

Lajos Bárdos (author)

Discipline: Music Analysis

Category: Style analysis

Type: Analytical studies

The author was active as a conductor, music-teacher, editor, composer and musicologist. The ingenuity of his writings on musical theory derives from this versatility. Bárdos explains Bartók’s and Kodály’s stylistic components with regard to melody, tonality, harmony, polyphony and form. The reader is also introduced to a specific mode of melody formation so far unknown in the common knowledge about music, i. e. organics.

Keywords: heptatonia secunda, modus locricus, organicism
