Summary of Results: Following the flow of letters exchanged between the composer, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Székely, who was not only the dedicatee of the piece, the soloist of the premier, but played a more versatile rule as motivator, also helped the composer with his advises, an interesting documentary we can find of the 1930’s in Europe. An analysis of the score of Willem Mengelberg, the conductor of the premier, provides us with some practical details of the working style of the Maestro. With the help of a power point presentation and some musical examples, I will present a brief analysis of the piece and it’s genesis.
