The book also contains excerpts from his publications on the stick dance and its accompanying music. Owing to his early departure, Martin was unable to bring his plans to completion. Now, when we remember him on the seventieth anniversary of his birth, we try to repay an old debt by publishing a volume of material from his precious legacy, a legacy that now serves as a documentary source for scientific folk-music research.

We owe this not only to György Martin, who was the chief collector and editor of the material, but also to his colleagues, and last but not least to the performers of the songs from whom we have inherited this complex wealth of melodies.

Night of Mu­seums in the Hun­gari­an Her­it­age House

This year, too, the Hungarian Heritage House will open its doors on the Night of Museums. Here, the past will become an experience and tradition will take on new meaning. The Buda Vigadó building will be open for exploration from the attic to the cellar.
