MAN is nothing his work is
.cvcrything' said brilliant literary
nan in the 10Th century. Therefore
to understand and appreciate a nation
it il necessary to know its past and its
contribution to civilization.
Hungary 3 past could be summarized
in a- rev wDffs. tin. ttefrnse Of Western
civilization. Taking into considera-
tion her losses, Hungary has probably
sacrificed more for the preservation
Of Western civilization than any other
country. Far back in the 18th century,
she blocked the expansion of the huge
Asiatic empire Of Gcngbis Khan. From
the l4th century on to the 18th,
Hungary Was constantly fighting
against the armies of the vast Turk ish
empire. When these wars began.
Hungary was a great power. At the
end Of tho mercilcss struggle, i'm the
18th century, Hungary completely
devastated practically disappeared
from the political map Of Europe. In
spite of her continuous battling against
the Asiatic invaders, she found time
to progress culturally.
Due to the isolation of the Magyar
tongue it is difficult to know and to
appreciate Hungarian civilization Macy
i'll his "World Literature confesses
that he has not ever even heard the
titles of most Hungarian masterpieces.
Therefore, it is quite natural that the
nusie of Hungary is the best known
81 all her contributions to civilization.
Yet most people confuse our national
classical music with Hungarian gypsy
music. Nothing is farther from the
truth than this belief. 1t is true that
ia our gypsy music Hungarian motifs
arc used but many of the famous
German and French composers. as
Brahms and Bcrlioz used such motifs
without representing Hungary in
music. The great Hungarian composers
also used the folk song but how much
different from the gypsy variation
does the same motif becomes in the
hands of Franz Liszt or in the hands
af the two eminent Aiving Hungarian
composers, Bart6k and Dodaly. To-
night YOU will hear Iiszt and LavOtta
On the program but please do not
forget that this represents only a
morsel of Hungarian musical gems.
In conclusion, may extend to YOU
the good will and sincere greetings Of
the Hungarian people with the hope
that you will enjoy and appreciate this
