Children’s Dances
Kodály, a colleague of Bartók during the early collecting of folk music in Hungary and neighboring regions, made his late career in his own country, where the system of musical education he devised had a profound effect, as well as abroad. His own music is imbued with the spirit and musical idiom of Hungary and is, in general, less astringent than is sometimes the case with the music of Bartók. One of the first people to undertake the serious study of folk
tales, Kodály became one of the most significant early figures in the field of ethnomusicology.
