Scholarly Research and Performance Practice in
Bartók Studies:
The Importance of the Dialogue
An International Musicological Colloquium to Celebrate to 50th Anniversary of the
Foundation of the Budapest Bartók Archives
International Bartók Seminar and Festival, Szombathely (Hungary)
16–18 July 2011
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Budapest Bartók Archives,
some of the leading specialists of Béla Bartók’s music have been invited for a scholarly
conference to be held at the Szombathely Bartók Seminar and Festival in Hungary. The
Szombathely Bartók Seminar has had particular significance for Bartók research since its
renewal as Seminar and Festival with the motto “Bartók – New Music” from the mid1980s and it was there that two workshop meetings of the planned Béla Bartók Complete
Critical Edition and the 1995 International Bartók Colloquium took place.
Source study, the scholarly edition of works including previously unpublished
compositions, the evaluation and analysis of the composer’s own recorded performances of
his and other composers’ music have all been central to the activity of the Budapest Bartók
Archives since its foundation in 1961. We have invited contributions to questions of style
and notation in relation to performance practice, as well as analysis of early recordings and
comparisons of folkloristic data, central reference in Bartók’s art, and compositions.
Contributions on questions of editing, the significance of editorial decisions in general and
the difficulties relating to different versions and variant readings in particularly have also
been encouraged.
The conference will also give opportunity for the staff of the Budapest Bartók Archives to
present ongoing major projects, László Somfai’s Béla Bartók Thematic Catalog and the Béla
Bartók Complete Critical Edition.
Papers will be read in English, German and possibly French. Detailed program could be
available form 15th April on the websites: www.bartokfestival.hu and
www.zti.hu/bartok/index.htm
