Bela Bartok se huis in die Buda heuwels

Fabian, by ons hostel, was so gaaf om vir ons 'n kaart te teken om by Bela Bartok se huismuseum uit te kom. Self was hy nog nooit daar nie, maar dit is nie te moeilik nie, vertel hy toe hy 'n kaart teken want die sentrale stadskaart was te "klein" vir hierdie uitstappie.  Hy't mooi verduidelik, maar nie vertel dat dit al die pad opdraend is nadat jy van die tram afklim nie.

                                                  Kom ma, dit is doer met die bult op ..

                                       Uitsig oor die Buda heuwels as beloning vir die klim.

                                                    Twee beelde in die Bartok-tuin  Die komponis het tot 1940 daar gewoon.
                                                    In die 80's het die woning, in 1924 gebou, 'n museum geword.

Voorportaal en laaste komposisie

Uittreksel geneem van die amptelike webtuiste van die museum:
The renowned house on Csalán Road, which guards and promulgates the memory of the greatest genius of Hungarian music, was built in the skirts of the forests-hills of Buda in 1924. 

In those years, the neighbourhood, with exuberantly splendid gardens and only a few houses, was more a part of what we would call it today - a "landscape protection district", than the noisy Capital.

 The composer, who could not stand the clamour of the metropolis, the din of machines and engines and the inquisitive and prying nature of people, found an ideal home in the district rich in fragrant fresh air and tranquillity only broken by the twittering of birds. 

From 1932, the house and garden previously bearing the number 27, and later number 29 as historical fate will it so was Béla Bartók's last residence in Hungary. Now it is a museum, more precisely, it is a memorial site that attentively guards Bartók's personal belongings and regularly evokes his spirit through his music.
