Bartok's musical style

melodies- based on pentatonic ,whole - tone, modal, or irregular scales, regular diatonic and chromatic scales

chords - from triads to combinations of fourths, sometimes adding dissonant major or minor seconds, sometimes seconds are piled into clusters.

music style- tonal, based on fundamental key center, sometimes obscured by modal or chromatic means, or both at once.Percussive piano style. The quartets are full of arresting sonorities, in some of which multiple stops, glissandos, different types of pizzicato, and col legno play a part.

keys - sometimes writes on two or more simultaneous harmonic planes(polytonality)together
