  Explores how political pressures affected musical life on both sides of the iron curtain during the early years of the cold war. This study illuminates the pervasive political anxieties of the day through attention to artistic, music-theoretical, and propagandistic responses to the music of Hungary's renowned 20th-century composer, Bela Bartok.
