	Central Europe Review - Music: Gyorgy Kurtag
		Nevertheless, the task of establishing a new musical style that had the power to break the hegemony of German music in Hungary was accomplished mainly as a result of Kodály's ability to see beyond the obvious and to plough new ideas into the musical life of his country.
		The possibility of a non-German musical style incorporating the scales and modes of folk music and the new devices of modernism began to be realised by Kodály, Bartók, and other composers in the first decade of the twentieth century.
		This demonstrates the fact that for Kodály, the music of the peasant songs was his 'mother tongue', a musical language he had learned as a child that had developed into maturity through his intensive research into Hungarian folk music.

	1Thesis3
		Peasant music must neither be confused with popular art music, which is the music of town (also could be named as flourishing popular town art music or light popular style).
		And its music the same way: with its stylized lighter popular taste it cannot emulate that of peasant music, the music evolved and carried through the natural process of a long illiterate oral tradition.
		The group of the old style, the oldest known Hungarian peasant music descends mainly from certain isolated regions of the Rumanian peasants (Transylvania), a Hungarian speaking population of at least 500 000 east from the Rumanian political frontier.

		When I began to record music in Romania in the late 1980s, many of the elder Gypsy musicians I approached in Transylvania enthusiastically played Jewish tunes for me, alongside the Romanian and Transylvanian Hungarian music I was asking after.

	Hungarian Gypsy Music: Whose Heritage?
		To be able to assess properly the music played by them--particularly if one takes into account the role of rural Gypsy musicians too--it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the whole of the Hungarian musical tradition, both written and unwritten, since that is the context in which it emerged and developed.
		Verbunkos music went out of fashion in the second half of the 19th century; at its demise sheet music was needed to revive the few tunes which are still played now and then by musicians today.
		The folk-based popular music--the Hungarian n?ta (slow lyrical air) and the cs?rd?s--the music of the masses considered to be the typical Hungarian musical idiom from the middle of the 19th century--was, like the earlier verbunkos music, also mainly the work of Hungarian amateurs.

	INKPOT#56 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: CSÁRDÁS - Hungarian Gypsy Music (Naxos)
		Sadly the music of this people has been neglected as they have always been looked down upon as thieves and bandits, a point which is unfortunately undeniable, though over-emphasized.

		Born in 1945 in Kaposvár, Sánta was trained at the Music Academy and has played in different symphony orchestras.

	Greatest Composers of Hungary
		Hungarian by birth, Franz LISZT was an international figure with ambiguous ties to his homeland; his use of traditional Hungarian music, although he mistakenly confused it with Gypsy elements, did stir interest in the national musical heritage.
		A Hungarian, he studied piano and composition at the Budapest Academy of Music, where he was appointed professor of piano in 1907.
		In 1844, Liszt was appointed musical director in Weimar; he settled there in 1848 and abandoned concertizing to devote himself to conducting and composition.

		In addition, there exists a type of traditional instrumental folk music in the villages that is also played by Gypsies but is not Gypsy music but rather Hungarian, Romanian, Saxon, Jewish, and other folk-dance music, handed down from generation to generation by Gypsies in their function as professional musicians.
		Old Hungarian folk music, searched for by many during the period of national awakening in the nineteenth century but not actually found until Bartók and Kodály came along at the beginning of the twentieth, was a monophonic tradition, thousands of years old, and primarily vocal.
		Within a short time, what is usually known as "Gypsy music" was born, and it evolved more and more into a kind of music written by Hungarian noblemen and members of the middle class, rooted in verbunkos and shaped by the Gypsies in performance.

		The Hungarian instrumental dance music of the early 19th century--so-called "verbunkos" music--along with Hungarian popular songs ("magyar nóta" in Hungarian) and the csárdás, are referred to even by Hungarians themselves using one word, cigányzene (Gypsy music), if a Gypsy band happens to be playing them.
		The latter happens to be expressly vocal music which bore no relation whatever to the 19th century romantic bourgeois thinking and feeling of Hungarian folk music.
		In the Hungarian daily Magyar Hírlap of October 3, 1995, I read a statement by the director of a Gypsy artists' ensemble (not Gypsy "band") in which he declared, "In my opinion, if music is played by Gypsies, then that is Gypsy music." That could be enlightening, if anybody could provide an acceptable explanation.

		All around the world, folk music is being reprogrammed for contemporary club culture.
		With Etchno, Hungarian folk music is subjected to a wide array of techno, dub, and ambient mixes by a number of underground Hungarian DJs.
		That Etchno hangs together may be due to the fact that the project was conceived as a means of bridging old and new Hungarian dance music; a video included on the disc shows a Hungarian theatre/dance troupe performing to Etchno's songs, interspersed with older footage of Hungarian villagers dancing.
