BARTÓK Béla(1881-1945) Lot n° 1234

L.A.S. "Bartók Béla", [Budapest 7 November 1912], to the ethnographer Sándor SOLYMOSSY in Budapest; 1 page in-8, address (letter card); in Hungarian. On the organization of a concert of popular music. He would very much like to undertake his proposal for a concert to present musicians from northern Hungary, but cannot prepare it so soon. It will only make sense if they can present a bagpiper from Hontmegye and a hurdy-gurdy player from Szentes. Unfortunately, they won't get them all at once, and without that, he himself won't be able to make the necessary preparation. If the Association wishes to make this presentation, the best would be to hold a day in February, or January at the earliest. Then it would get in touch with the right people, who would help bring the musicians .
