Bela Bartok was a composer cf rattier complex music, most of which defies classification in any obvious technical category, such as atonality. Perhaps because of this, his music is frequently difficult to understand on first hearing, but seems to improve with repetition. But for at least one listener there is a certain point at which it stops improving, and this point is somewhat short of the standard of really great music. When one has heard it again and again, Bartoks art intrigues the ear and stimulates appreciation for his craftsman ship, yet leaves one's emotions ' generally untouched.
