The article states: "He wrote only two works in
exile: the Concerto for Orchestra and an unaccompanied
sonata for Yehudi Menuhin". That is not true. He also
wrote the Third Piano Concerto.

The article also states: "In 1940, after his mother
died, he forswore comfort and sailed to America where,
five years later, he died indigent". No mention is
made of his long, fatal illness that sapped his
strength during those years, affecting his
productivity.

The article seems to say that he's a has been.
Absolutely untrue. A new statue of Bartok has been
built outside South Kensington Railway Station in
London, England. They don't do that for has beens.

I'm not blaming ogliasianc for the quality of the
article. I thank him for sending it.
