	Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hungary became a patrimonial kingdom where the majority of the land was the private property of the ruler.
		Hungary's landscape consists mostly of flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian Basin, with hills and lower mountains to the north along the Slovakian border (highest point: the Kékes at 3,327 ft; 1,014 m).
		According to census data, the largest religion in Hungary is Roman Catholicism (50% of the population [3]), with a significant Calvinist minority (16% of the population) and smaller Lutheran (3%) and Greek Catholic (3%) minorities.

	Music of Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The subsequent influence on neighboring countries' music is seen in the music of Slovakia and, with intervals of the third or second, in the music of the Czech Republic.
		Musical life in the areas controlled by the Ottoman Turks declined precipitously, with even the formerly widespread and entrenched plainsong style disappearing by the end of the 17th century.
		Music was uniformly festive and optimistic, with every deviation arousing suspicion; this simplicity led to a lack of popular support from the public, who did not identify with the sterile approved styles.

	Hungary
		Hungarian independence ended with the Ottoman conquest at the beginning of the 16th century; the parts of Hungary that were not conquered by the Ottomans were annexed by Austria (the rulers of which were Hungarian kings at the same time) in the West, and became the independent Principality of Transylvania in the East.
		Hungary's landscape consists mostly of the flat to rolling plains of the Carpathian Basin, with hills and lower mountains to the north along the Slovakian border (highest point: the Kékes at 1,014 m).
		The music of Hungary consists mainly of traditional Hungarian folk music and music by prominent Romantic and Baroque composers such as Franz Liszt, Béla Bartók and Zoltán Kodály (although the latter mainly composed music with traditional elements).

	Austria-Hungary - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
		The "Lands" of the Transleithanian half of the Empire were the Kingdoms of Hungary, and of Croatia and Slavonia, and the State of Rijeka.
		Though Hungary's leaders were on the whole less willing than their German Austrian counterparts to share power with their subject minorities, they granted a large measure of autonomy to the kingdom of Croatia in 1868, parallelling to some extent their own accommodation within the Empire the previous year.
		A pro-monarchist revival in Hungary after the communist revolution and Romanian intervention of 1919 led to the country's formal reversion to a kingdom (March 1920), but with the throne vacant.

		The name "Hungary" may be influenced by the name of the Hun people, although it probably comes from the name of a later, 7th century state called Onogur (or possibly from the name of the city Ungvár, which was possibly the first major city the Magyars occupied).
		Hungary was partially demolished with a great loss of life in 1241–1242 by Mongol (Tatar) armies of Batu Khan.

	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.
		Kodály recognised the potential of the musical innovations of Debussy for the development of new music in Hungary and pointed Bartók and others of his colleagues in the direction of France as a source for new inspiration.
		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.

	Central Europe Review - Beat and Rock Music in Hungary
		By 1945, light music in Hungary had reached world-class standards and was moving in a similar direction to popular music elsewhere.
		During that era, the gap between the music for entertainment that was tolerated and given active support and the music that corresponded to the tastes of young people widened to a gaping chasm, and the so-called amateur movement was launched.
		The handful of groups unwilling to dance to the Communists' tune were exiled to the fringes, from where they were able, for a brief period at the end of the 1970s, to return triumphantly, before degenerating into a parody of themselves and disappearing into oblivion at the end of the 1980s.
