for a long time and if he is getting played more at concerts I'm glad. I became a fan when I first heard chamber works by him back in college, over 40 years ago. My fascination continues to this day. I had the same experience with my children as John N. When I would play play Bartok, it got their attention, almost no matter what they were doing. I'd see them moving with the rhythm. The only other composers I saw affect them like that were Mozart and Vivaldi.
