What it covers: Composer Béla Bartók's life written by his younger son portrays him as a family man whose profession happened to be to write music. The origin of several works are described. The appendix contains the surviving letters written by the father to the son; some can be viewed as a chronological account of the last year and a half of Bartók's life.
