When his native Hungary went to the side of Nazi Germany as an ally, Bela Bartok left the country and came to New York. He was a fine pianist, and he and his wife made ends meet by giving concerts and working on translating old Hungarian books into English for Columbia University and also got a grant from the University to work on a large collection of Serbian and Croatian folk songs. There was little interest in Bartok's compositions in the U.S. and he had difficulty composing.
