The Life and Music of Bela Bartok
Praise for past editions:  "A reliable, sympathetic, informative, even rich book that fills a need.  It should be in every self-respecting general library and in the hands of anyone who wants an understanding guide to the immense riches of Bartók's works."--Notes"Does credit to American musical scholarship."--Aaron Copland, New York Times"Gilles's discretion is appreciated not only because the book is a lucid exposition of a notoriously complicated subject but also because it is one of the great classics of modernist biography and thus an important document in its own right."Choral Journal
