Happy belated birthday (25 March) #bélabartók (1881-1945) As a #belabartok birthday gift to myself, I purchased this source catalog of #folkmusic in Bartok’s compositions by Vera Lampert. The book comes with a recording of some of Bartok’s original field recordings from his travels through the central/Eastern European countryside a century ago! Looking forward to gaining a #deeperunderstanding of the music of one of my #favoritecomposers #booksaboutmusic #musichistory #musichistory101 #ethnomusicology #ethnomusicologist #ethnomusicologie #musiceducation #bartók #classicalmusic #musicresearch #musiclibrary #fieldnotes #fieldrecordings #musicianslife #classicaliscool #classicalmusiciscool #violinteacher #musicteacherlife #musiceducator (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbmyYXPOf2s/?utm_medium=tumblr

A mashup is two different pieces of music that are overlapped to create a different harmony. It sounds different, and also sounds as though it is a good way to close the piece. I felt like it was sort of the grand finale at the end of fireworks at the fourth of July. It was a whole different sound, and that created an exciting way to end the piece.
