Founder. Bartók was a pioneer in the field of ethnomusicology. He traveled extensively throughout Eastern Europe, collecting and studying folk music from various cultures. His research and transcriptions not only preserved these musical traditions but also influenced his own compositions, incorporating elements of folk music into his works. Bartók's contributions to ethnomusicology laid the foundation for the systematic study of non-Western music and its integration into classical music.
