One of the most important Hungarian composers, folk music researchers and music educators of the first half of the 20th century, László Lajtha - whose work is in many ways akin to that of Bartók and Kodály - did a great deal to introduce the world to instruments that are now considered classically Hungarian, and his folk music collections from the Transylvanian village of Szék served as the basic source material for the dance house movement. These melodies will now be reborn in the free improvisations of Kálmán Balogh and his guests.
