Primitivistic music asserts one note as more important and combines elements into new wholes. It uses materials from other cultures, countries, and ethnic groups. The document discusses Bela Bartok, a Hungarian composer who used Hungarian folk themes and rhythms. As a primitivist and nationalist, he collected Hungarian folk songs and admired composers like Liszt, Strauss, Debussy, and Stravinsky. He is famous for works like his Six String Quartets spanning 30 years and the Concerto for Orchestra, which features soloists' talents.

3. Primitivism
Primitivistic music is tonal through the
asserting of one note as more important than the
others. New sounds are synthesized or combining
the various components into new whole from old
ones by juxtaposing or putting side by side the two
simple events to create a more complex new event.
