noted Hungarian composer, pianist and researcher of folk music of Eastern Europe. ►
Béla Bartók accidentally discovered the true nature of Hungarian music. One summer day in 1904, while on holiday in a village in the plains of Hungary, he heard a peasant girl singing while working in the fields. Instantly fell in love, but not the girl, but music.
The song was simple and crude, the melody, innocent, and the rhythm irregular. Bartók heard caught, and then asked the girl to sing more. Transcribed the melody and later recalled: "I had a penny. However, I felt I returned to Budapest with a great treasure: the soul of the Hungarian peasants. "
