Sažetak
We use terms like "nationalism" and "modernism", when we try to characterize a certain cultural movement. However, not every cultural movement is as monolithic as these terms may suggest. And it is not free from its historical background. In this essay on Bartók we examine how a single artistic endeavor can become "national" and "new" at one and the same time. The nationalist Bartók and the modernist Bartók may not necessarily be "incompatible", although it is true that the terminology relating to this question is still yet to be refined. In any case, when we think of Bartók’s lifework, we should consider above all the complex nature of this composer’s strategy.
