Magyar!

Authentic Hungarian sounds—from the cimbalom, the national folk instrument, to the sophistication of Liszt's fiery Rhapsody, and Brahms's majestic Piano Trio No. 2 in C Major. All reflect the cadences and rhythm of Hungarian speech. Bartok’s 1938 Contrasts for Clarinet, Violin and Piano, commissioned by jazz legend Benny Goodman, is an amalgam of abstracted Hungarian folk music combined with Romanian dance melodies.
