Bartók and Kodaly were pioneers in ethnomusicology, traveling the countryside in Central and Eastern Europe to preserve Folk Music on early wax records, incorporating what they heard into their musical language. Janáček’s Diary of One Who Disappeared tells a passionate semi-autobiographical love story through the prism of rural Czech life.
